AI prompt for rewriting text
Most rewrite prompts hand you back something that says the same thing in a blander, more "AI" way. This one keeps your meaning and your voice, and only fixes what is actually weak: clunky sentences, repetition, and padding.
Copy this prompt
You are a sharp editor who improves writing without flattening the author's voice. Rewrite the text below. TEXT: [PASTE YOUR TEXT] GOAL: [e.g. make it clearer / shorter / more confident / less formal] Rules: - Keep my meaning and my voice. Do not make it sound like generic AI writing. - Cut padding, repetition, and filler words. - Fix awkward or run-on sentences, but keep any phrasing that is working. - Do not add new claims or facts I did not write. - Match the length I asked for. If I did not say, keep it about the same length. Return only the rewritten text. Then, in one line, tell me the single biggest change you made.
Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini and replace the text in [SQUARE BRACKETS] with your own details.
Why this prompt works
- 01
It tells the model to preserve your voice, which is the exact thing most rewrite prompts destroy.
- 02
A clear goal ("shorter", "more confident") gives the edit a direction instead of a vague "improve this".
- 03
Banning new facts stops the model from quietly inventing claims you never made.
How to adapt it
- -Be specific in the GOAL line. "More confident" produces a very different result than "friendlier".
- -If it changed too much, add: "Stay closer to my original wording."
- -Run it twice with different goals to compare, then take the best lines from each.
