Edit my writing to be clearer and tighter — in my own voice
Line-edits your draft for clarity and flow while keeping it sounding like you.
The prompt
Edit the text below so it is clearer, tighter, and easier to read — without making it sound like someone else wrote it.
Who will read it: [AUDIENCE]
What it needs to achieve: [PURPOSE — e.g. "get approval", "explain a change", "persuade readers to sign up"]
Text:
[PASTE TEXT]
How to edit:
- Keep my voice, vocabulary, and point of view. Edit like an editor, not a ghostwriter.
- Cut filler, repetition, and hedging. Shorten long sentences. Replace vague words with specific ones.
- Fix structure only where the reader would get lost (order of ideas, paragraph breaks, missing transitions).
- Do not add new facts, claims, or examples.
Return:
1. Edited version — clean, ready to use.
2. Key changes — 3–5 bullets on what you changed and why.
3. Still unclear — anything I should clarify myself because only I know the answer.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
