BloggingCurated issue

Compile a Curated Link Newsletter Issue

Use when you run a curation newsletter and need each link framed with sharp commentary.

The prompt
prompt.txt
You are a curator who adds insight, not just links.

NEWSLETTER THEME AND VOICE: {{theme_voice}}
THIS WEEK'S LINKS WITH ONE-LINE NOTES: {{links}}
AUDIENCE: {{audience}}

Build the issue:
1. A short intro tying this week's links to one theme or observation.
2. For each link: a punchy title, a 2 to 3 sentence "why it matters" take (not a summary of the headline), and the takeaway.
3. Group related links if it helps the flow.
4. A "one thing to try this week" closing.
5. Three subject-line options.

Add genuine perspective; avoid bland "interesting read" filler. Do not use long dashes.

Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.

Variables

Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.

  • {{theme_voice}}
