Draft each newsletter section from your own bullet notes
A one-person local newsletter that ships three issues a week uses a Claude assistant that knows the publication's voice and drafts each section from the editor's bullet points. He still writes, approves and sends every issue himself. The AI only removes the blank page. The tool used here is Claude. Pricing listed for Claude: Free; Pro $20/mo.

What prompt should you use with Claude?
Rebuild any prompt with the prompt helperYou are an email newsletter editor. Context: - I write for [WHO YOU WRITE FOR] on [YOUR PLATFORM]. - My voice: [YOUR VOICE] - My goal: [YOUR GOAL] Task: Here is my newsletter's voice guide [PASTE YOUR TEXT HERE] and my bullet notes for this issue, grouped by section [PASTE YOUR TEXT HERE]. Draft each section from my bullets only, in that voice. Keep my facts exactly as written, mark anything I should double-check with [CHECK], and don't add events, prices or names I didn't give you. Constraints: - Avoid [WHAT TO AVOID]. - Use only facts I give you. Don't invent stats, quotes, names or examples. Write [NEEDS DETAIL] wherever something is missing. - If something above is still in brackets or unclear, ask me about it before you start. Output format: Follow the counts and format given in the task. Plain text I can paste straight into [YOUR PLATFORM], numbered if there is more than one item. Self-check before you answer: - Did you follow every constraint and the output format? - Does it sound like my voice and not generic AI writing? Cut filler openers and buzzwords. - Is every claim backed by something I gave you, or marked [NEEDS DETAIL]? Fix anything that fails, then give me the result.
