What health and wellness readers expect
Readers expect practical help from someone qualified: what to do, how often, what to expect and when to see a professional instead. They respond to a clear programme (a plan for sleep, mobility, energy, eating, stress) with stories of real progress and realistic timelines.
They should be protected from overclaiming. Avoid promising cures, avoid dosage or treatment advice outside your qualification, and say plainly that the book doesn't replace individual medical advice. Language models can state medical claims confidently and wrongly, so every claim in an AI draft needs checking against reliable sources.
Length and structure
Practical wellness guides often run somewhere around 30,000 to 50,000 words. The Standard preset fits most; a focused programme (a four-week plan, a single condition) can work at the Short preset.
A common structure: the problem and why common approaches fail, how the body works in plain language, the programme step by step (often by week or by pillar), troubleshooting and plateaus, special situations (age, pregnancy, injury, conditions) with clear advice to consult professionals, and how to maintain results.
How Inkora writes a wellness book
Put your programme, your qualifications and your safety notes into the brief. Planning produces a premise, key concepts with plain-language definitions and a chapter outline of headed sections, each with the point it makes.
Chapters use short paragraphs, sub-headings, numbered steps and bullet lists where they help. The fact ledger records terms, timings and figures a chapter establishes so the programme stays consistent: if the routine is ten minutes in chapter three, it isn't fifteen in chapter eight.
What to put in your brief
The brief is the “Your book idea & instructions” box in the new-book wizard. The more specific it is, the less generic the book. Here is an example, with the settings that go with it:
Wellness guide on desk-worker back and neck pain. I'm a chartered physiotherapist with 15 years in private practice. Programme: “The Ten-Minute Desk Reset”, three short routines (morning, midday, end of day) plus workspace setup, progressed over six weeks. Describe exercises in clear numbered steps. Include red-flag symptoms that mean seeing a doctor urgently (I'll review the list). No claims about curing conditions, no medication advice, no statistics unless I add them. Audience: office and remote workers aged 25–60. Encouraging, plain English, a medical disclaimer up front.

Common mistakes
- Health claims you haven't checked against reliable sources.
- Giving advice outside your professional qualification.
- No disclaimer and no guidance on when to see a doctor.
- Promising results on a fixed timeline for every reader.
- Exercises described vaguely; readers need clear, numbered steps.
