## Prompt

```text
Edit my creative writing.

**Type and genre:** [novel chapter / short story / memoir / picture book]
**Audience:** [READERS]
**Edit level:** [developmental (story, structure) / line edit (prose, dialogue) / both]
**Text:**
[PASTE]

Developmental: plot and pacing, character motivation and arcs, point of view, stakes, and whether the opening hooks.
Line edit: clunky sentences, telling instead of showing, dialogue that sounds unnatural, repetition, and clichés.

Return: the 3 biggest strengths, the 5 most important issues (with quoted examples and suggested fixes), and a line-edited sample of one passage. Keep my voice — suggest, don't rewrite everything.
