Drafting, editing and repurposing — posts, scripts, newsletters and the passes in between.
Use this when you have a half-formed idea and 10 minutes, not a blank page and an hour.
I have a raw idea for a LinkedIn post: [PASTE YOUR ROUGH NOTES OR VOICE MEMO TRANSCRIPT]. Write it up as a LinkedIn post in my voice: [DESCRIBE YOUR VOICE IN 3-4 ADJECTIVES]. Start with a hook that doesn't rely on a cliffhanger or fake suspense. One clear idea, not three. End with a question or a real next step, not a generic 'thoughts?'. Keep it under [WORD COUNT].
Use this right after a project wraps, while the details are still fresh.
Turn this into a short case study post: client [CLIENT NAME OR DESCRIPTOR], starting problem [WHAT WAS BROKEN OR SLOW], what we changed [WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DID], result [SPECIFIC OUTCOME OR NUMBER]. Write it as a story with a clear before/after, not a bragging list. No 'game-changing' or 'revolutionary' language. End with what this means for someone reading who has the same problem.
Use this to repurpose long-form writing into carousel-ready copy in one pass.
Here's a blog post: [PASTE POST]. Break it into a 8-10 slide carousel outline. Slide 1 is the hook (the core tension or claim), slides 2-8 are one idea each in plain language, final slide is a takeaway plus a soft CTA. Give me a slide-by-slide list: slide number, headline (under 8 words), and the one sentence of body copy that goes with it.
Use this when you have a genuine, evidence-based disagreement worth publishing, not just a hot take.
I want to challenge a common assumption about [TOPIC]. The assumption most people hold is: [STATE THE COMMON BELIEF]. My actual take, based on [YOUR REAL EXPERIENCE OR EVIDENCE], is: [YOUR TAKE]. Write 5 opening lines that state this tension directly, without being edgy for the sake of it. No fear-mongering, no 'everyone is wrong but me' tone.
Use this on a draft that feels 30% too long but you can't tell what to cut.
Edit this draft for length and clarity without changing my meaning or softening my opinions: [PASTE DRAFT]. Cut throat-clearing, cut hedge words (I think, maybe, sort of), cut any sentence that restates a point already made. Keep my sentence rhythm — don't smooth it into generic corporate copy. Show me what you cut in a short list underneath.
Use this when the body copy is done but nothing you've titled it is landing.
Write 8 headline options for this piece: [PASTE ARTICLE, POST, OR SUMMARY]. Give me 2 that state the practical benefit directly, 2 that pose a specific question the reader actually has, 2 that name a common mistake, and 2 that use a number or concrete detail. No 'you won't believe' or curiosity-gap clickbait.
Use this when the newsletter content is drafted but the opening still reads like a table of contents.
Here are my rough notes for this week's newsletter: [PASTE BULLETS]. Write a 3-4 sentence intro that connects to why this matters right now for [YOUR AUDIENCE], then transition naturally into the first section. Conversational, first person, no 'In today's newsletter we'll cover' framing.
Use this to turn one idea into a script that follows your reel structure without overthinking the format.
Turn this talking point into a 30-45 second video script: [TALKING POINT OR NOTES]. Structure: hook (first line, states the tension, no 'hey guys'), one practical insight, one concrete example, one actionable takeaway, a short CTA. Write it as spoken lines, not paragraphs — mark natural pause points.
Use this when you're building a carousel from scratch and need both copy and layout direction at once.
Build a full carousel from this idea: [CORE IDEA OR ARTICLE]. Give me [NUMBER] slides. For each slide: the headline (under 8 words, serif-friendly, not a full sentence), the one line of supporting copy, and a one-line art direction note (what should be on the slide visually — cream background, minimal, no icons unless essential).
Use this when the post is strong but the ending trails off or turns into a sales line.
Write 5 closing lines for this post that invite engagement or a next step without sounding like a pitch: [PASTE POST OR SUMMARIZE THE TOPIC]. The offer/next step is: [WHAT YOU ACTUALLY WANT PEOPLE TO DO — comment, DM, click, book a call]. No 'link in bio', no exclamation points, no fake urgency.
Use this when your bio still reads like a LinkedIn summary from three roles ago.
Write my About page bio. Facts to include: [ROLE, COMPANIES, YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DO DAY TO DAY]. What I want people to feel after reading it: [E.G. THIS PERSON IS CREDIBLE AND PRACTICAL, NOT SALESY]. Third person, [WORD COUNT] words. No 'passionate about' or 'thought leader' language — show credibility through specifics, not adjectives.
Use this for a services page, a proposal, or a one-pager that needs the offer explained plainly.
Write a description for this offer: [OFFER NAME AND WHAT'S INCLUDED]. Who it's for: [SPECIFIC AUDIENCE]. What changes for them after: [CONCRETE OUTCOME, NOT A FEELING]. Lead with the problem it solves, not the deliverable list. One paragraph plus 3 bullet outcomes, no adjective stacking ('comprehensive, powerful, game-changing').
Use this when you need paid or boosted copy that still sounds like you, not a template.
Write 3 short ad variations for [OFFER] targeting [AUDIENCE]. Each should lead with a specific pain point or moment ('when you realize X'), state the offer plainly, and end with one clear action. Keep each under [CHARACTER LIMIT]. No countdown urgency, no 'limited spots' unless that's literally true.
Use this to get one idea out across channels without rewriting from scratch each time.
Here's my core post: [PASTE POST]. Adapt it into: (1) an Instagram caption with a hook line first and hashtags separated at the end, (2) a TikTok caption under 150 characters, (3) an X/Twitter post or short thread if it doesn't fit one post. Keep the core message identical — adjust length and format only, not the point being made.
Use this before committing to a multi-part series so you know the arc holds together.
I want to build a content series on [THEME] over [NUMBER OF WEEKS/POSTS]. Outline each installment: a working title, the one idea it covers, and how it connects to the one before and after it so the series builds rather than repeats. Flag any installment that's too close to a banned angle: hype claims, 'secret hacks', or fear-based framing.
Use this to keep ghostwritten or team-drafted content consistent with an established voice.
Here are 3 samples of writing in the voice I want to match: [PASTE 3 SHORT SAMPLES]. Now write [NEW PIECE — TOPIC/BRIEF] in that same voice: same sentence length patterns, same level of formality, same use (or avoidance) of humor. Don't imitate specific phrases from the samples — match the underlying rhythm and word choice patterns.
Use this on a Monday to plan the week's posting instead of starting from scratch daily.
This week's theme is [THEME]. Give me 5 distinct LinkedIn post angles on this theme — each should teach, challenge, or save the reader time, not repeat the same point. For each: a one-line angle description and an opening hook line. Flag if any two angles are too similar.
Use this to repurpose a newsletter or blog post for X without losing the argument's structure.
Turn this into a thread: [PASTE LONG-FORM PIECE]. Each post in the thread should carry one complete idea and work if read in isolation. First post is the hook plus the core claim. Last post is the takeaway plus a soft CTA. Aim for [NUMBER] posts, each under [CHARACTER LIMIT].
Use this after filming, when you know exactly what's in the video and need it to be findable.
Here's what this video covers: [SUMMARY OR TRANSCRIPT]. Write 5 title options that describe the actual content (no 'you won't believe') and a description with: a 2-sentence summary, timestamps if I list them below [PASTE TIMESTAMPS IF ANY], and one clear CTA at the end.
Use this right after recording, before the details of the conversation fade.
Here's the transcript: [PASTE TRANSCRIPT OR SUMMARY]. Write show notes: a 2-3 sentence episode summary, 4-6 key takeaways as short bullets, and 3 quotable lines pulled directly from the transcript (verbatim, not paraphrased). Keep the takeaways specific — no 'we discuss AI trends'.
Use this for a quick, editorial-style graphic post that isn't just a stock stat dump.
I want to turn this stat or quote into a shareable graphic: [PASTE STAT/QUOTE AND SOURCE]. Write the on-image text (under 15 words, standalone and clear without caption context) and a separate caption that gives the source, one sentence of why it matters, and one practical implication for [YOUR AUDIENCE].
Use this before handing a piece off so you're not rewriting it when it comes back.
Write a content brief for [PIECE TYPE — post, article, script] on [TOPIC]. Include: the core message in one sentence, the audience, 3 points that must be covered, tone notes ([REFERENCE YOUR VOICE GUIDE OR SAMPLE]), what to avoid (banned phrases, off-brand angles), and the format/length. Written so someone unfamiliar with the brand could execute it correctly.
Use this once you have enough published content to reverse-engineer a voice guide instead of writing one from scratch.
Here are 5-8 pieces of my existing content: [PASTE OR LIST LINKS/SAMPLES]. Analyze them and draft a one-page style guide: typical sentence length, vocabulary patterns, what I never say, how I open and close posts, and 3 real examples that best represent the voice. Flag any piece that seems off-voice compared to the rest.
Use this when a draft is technically correct but only makes sense to people already in the room.
Rewrite this for a general professional audience, not specialists: [PASTE DRAFT]. Cut jargon, define any term that isn't common knowledge in one clause, shorten sentences over 25 words. Don't dumb down the argument — simplify the language, keep the substance.
Use this before a batch-scheduling session so the week doesn't read like it was written by different people.
Here are [NUMBER] posts I'm about to publish this week: [PASTE ALL POSTS]. Check them for tone consistency — flag any post that's noticeably more formal, more hyped, or more hedged than the others, and tell me specifically which lines cause the shift.
Use this when you have unsolicited praise sitting in an email or Slack thread doing nothing.
Here's a testimonial or client message: [PASTE VERBATIM TEXT]. Turn it into a post that gives it context — what the client was struggling with, what we did, and this quote as proof — without over-editing their actual words. Attribute it accurately: [NAME AND ROLE, WITH THEIR PERMISSION TO USE].
Use this for the responsible-AI pillar — correcting hype or fear without swinging to the opposite extreme.
I want to correct a common misconception about [TOPIC]: people believe [THE MYTH], but based on [YOUR ACTUAL EVIDENCE OR EXPERIENCE], the reality is [THE CORRECTION]. Write this as a post that explains the nuance rather than just declaring people wrong. No absolutist claims ('X always/never works') unless they're literally true.
Use this when something's trending and you feel pressure to post about it but aren't sure you have anything real to add.
This is trending right now: [DESCRIBE THE TREND OR NEWS ITEM]. Give me a take that's grounded in what this actually means for [YOUR AUDIENCE] day to day — skip speculation about what it 'could mean for the future of AI' unless you have a specific, defensible point. If there isn't a genuine angle, say so instead of forcing one.
Use this to prep a guest interview that produces usable, specific quotes instead of generalities.
I'm interviewing [GUEST NAME/ROLE] about [TOPIC] for [FORMAT — podcast, post, video]. Write 8 questions: 2 that establish context/credibility, 4 that dig into specific, practical experience (not opinions), 2 that invite a concrete story. Avoid generic questions ('what's your AI journey') in favor of specific ones.
Use this when reaching out cold to place a byline somewhere new.
Write a pitch email to [PUBLICATION/NEWSLETTER NAME] proposing a guest piece on [TOPIC]. Include: one sentence on why this topic fits their audience specifically (reference something they've actually published), the angle I'd take, and 2 lines establishing why I'm credible to write it. Keep it under 150 words — no generic flattery.
Use this as a final pass before publishing, especially on anything written in a hurry.
Check this draft against my content rules: [PASTE DRAFT]. Flag any of these: banned phrases (magic, game-changing, revolutionary, secret hack, replace everyone), unearned superlatives, claims without a specific example backing them, fear-based framing, or a tool-first pitch instead of task-first framing. List each flag with the exact line.
Use this when a draft (yours or AI-generated) came out sounding like a landing page instead of a person talking.
This draft reads too much like marketing copy: [PASTE DRAFT]. Rewrite it in an editorial voice — plainspoken, specific, more show-don't-tell. Replace adjective-driven claims with concrete details or examples. Keep the same core message and length, roughly.
