Move the ask to the opening line
A request buried under two paragraphs of context.
Rewrite this so the ask is in the first sentence, the deadline is in the second, and everything else is context a reader can skip. Keep it under 120 words. If there is no clear ask in my draft, tell me that before rewriting anything. Draft:
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Structure and flow. Order, openings, endings, headlines and the joins that hold a piece together.
