90-Minute Book Polish: 5-Step Rapid Pre-Publish Audit with AI and Human Checks

Many authors stall because a manuscript is ‘almost there’ but never reaches publish quality. In this focused 8-minute monologue Dan Desmarques walks you through a repeatable 5-step '90-Minute Book Polish' that combines practical AI passes with quick human edits so you can finish faster without sacrificing quality. You’ll get a fast structural scan to fix pacing, an AI-driven clarity pass that preserves voice, a read-aloud and rhythm edit to tighten prose, a lightning proofread plus a rapid beta-reader plan, and a publish-ready packaging checklist covering cover, metadata, audiobook notes, and distribution choices. Each step includes tool recommendations, what to accept vs. what to fix, and a compact case study of a 22 Lions author who moved from stalled draft to KDP live in days. End with a concrete 15-minute action and a custom call to action for hands-on publishing support.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-22-lions-podcast-ai-self-publishing-book-empire-secrets--7016918/support.
