Genre-Specific AI-Powered Feedback & Prompts | ChatGPT as Your Beta Reader for Young Adult Book Writers

A ChatGPT Prompt for Authors of Young Adult Contemporary, Fantasy, Romance, and Coming-of-Age Stories

Get emotionally honest, age-aware feedback on your YA manuscript—without waiting weeks for beta readers.

This download transforms ChatGPT into a panel of five genre-savvy young adult readers and one professional developmental editor. Each persona delivers feedback rooted in the emotional landscape, identity exploration, and intensity of experience that define YA storytelling.

Whether your story follows a queer teen discovering their voice, a reluctant hero navigating a crumbling world, or two best friends falling in love on borrowed time, this tool helps you refine the heart, stakes, and authenticity of your story.

What You’ll Get:
• A structured ChatGPT prompt that creates five YA beta readers, each with distinct tastes, sensitivities, and emotional filters
• Specific feedback on voice, pacing, internal logic, relationship dynamics, and character growth
• Honest responses to YA red flags (e.g., inauthentic dialogue, missing emotional payoff, rushed arcs, or flat stakes)
• A professional editor persona who delivers a developmental summary and market-aware revision strategy
• A clear revision checklist targeting issues in prose tone, character realism, emotional resonance, and story structure

Built for YA Writers Who Care About Emotional Truth
This isn’t shallow feedback like “the character was cool.” It reflects how real teen and crossover readers respond—with intensity, curiosity, and zero tolerance for inauthenticity. Each reader persona brings their own lens: one may crave identity journeys, another found family, another messy first love, and another raw emotional honesty.

Expect disagreement, vulnerability, and precise reactions to the moments that matter—what landed, what didn’t, and what felt true.

The editor persona ties it all together with a craft-focused summary that helps you strengthen voice, deepen arcs, and sharpen what your story is really saying—so readers feel it, not just follow it.
