EDITORIAL DRAFTING · Workflow idea

Move from topic idea to a structured first draft without skipping fact-checking.

For an approved editorial brief, prepare a topic suggestion, article outline, critique, and full draft, then place the draft in a review tracker. Verify claims against trusted sources, avoid copying protected material or including confidential information, label unsupported details for research, and require an editor to approve accuracy, originality, and publication separately.
