EDITORIAL DRAFTING · Workflow idea

Go from a few topic ideas to a draft an editor can shape.

Start with a small set of keywords and prepare a structured article draft with an introduction, sections, and conclusion. Create a proposed featured image alongside the text, then leave both unpublished so an editor can verify facts, add clear citations, check image rights, and approve the final piece.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a writer get from a focused topic idea to a long-form first draft that can be reviewed and developed by an editor.

  1. Choose the topic and intended reader

    Provide a focused subject, starting keywords, and the audience the article should help.

  2. Prepare a clear article structure

    Organize an introduction, useful sections, and a conclusion that address the topic without inventing supporting evidence.

  3. Develop the section drafts

    Prepare draft text for each section and keep claims that need research easy for the editor to identify.

  4. Add citations and check factual claims

    Attach clear, relevant sources to factual claims and have an editor verify them before relying on the draft.

  5. Review the proposed featured image

    Check that the image fits the article, is appropriate for its audience, and may be used as intended.

  6. Approve the complete article before publishing

    Keep the article unpublished until an editor approves its wording, evidence, citations, and image.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

The handoff

Keep in mind

Generated writing can include inaccurate claims, missing context, or material too similar to existing work, and an image may have usage restrictions. Require clear citations for factual claims, verify quotes and evidence against reliable sources, check image rights and suitability, and require an editor to approve the complete article before publication.
