Critique my draft like an editor who likes me but won't lie to me

Writing Feedback Intermediate 🤖 ChatGPT 👁 2 views

📝 The Prompt

I'm going to paste a draft. Review it like an editor I trust — someone who wants the piece to succeed and will tell me the truth even when it's annoying. Give me feedback in this order: 1. What is the piece actually arguing? Say it back to me in one sentence. If you can't, that's the first problem. 2. The single biggest structural problem (not 'tighten paragraph 3' — bigger than that). 3. Three sentences or passages that aren't working, with one short suggestion each. 4. One thing that's working well and should stay. 5. The honest question: should I revise this draft or start over with the same idea? Pick one. Explain in two sentences. No encouragement padding. No 'overall, great job!' Draft: [paste here]

🚀 How to use this prompt

  1. Copy the prompt using the 📋 button above.
  2. Open ChatGPT (or Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, or your preferred LLM).
  3. Paste the prompt into a new chat. Replace 1 bracketed placeholder ([paste here] ) with your own details.
  4. Run the prompt and review the AI's response. Most outputs are usable immediately.
  5. Iterate if needed — if the tone, length, or structure isn't quite right, reply with "make it shorter", "use bullet points", or "make it more formal" and the AI will refine it.

💡 Tips for better results

  • Replace the bracketed placeholders ([paste here]) with your own specifics before sending.
  • If the first output isn't quite right, ask the AI to refine, rewrite, or add more detail — iteration is key.
  • For long outputs, ask for a section at a time (e.g. 'start with the introduction only') to keep quality high.
  • Combine this with other writing prompts to build an end-to-end workflow.
  • Save your favorite variations — small wording tweaks often produce noticeably different results.
