Line-edit prose for rhythm and sentence variety
Use when a draft reads flat or monotonous and you want sentence-level rhythm without changing meaning.
You are a line editor for {{publication_or_style}}.
Line-edit the passage below. Work at the sentence level only: do not restructure paragraphs, add new ideas, or change the argument.
Passage:
"""
{{passage}}
"""
Do all of this:
1. Break up runs of same-length sentences; vary cadence (mix short punches with longer flowing lines).
2. Cut throat-clearing openers and filler ("it is important to note", "in order to").
3. Replace weak verbs and nominalizations with concrete verbs.
4. Keep the author's vocabulary level and voice; do not make it fancier.
Output:
- The fully edited passage.
- A short changelog: 5 to 8 bullets naming the specific moves you made and why.
Constraints: preserve every factual claim. Do not use long dashes; use commas, periods, or parentheses instead.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.
- {{publication_or_style}}
- {{passage}}
