Ruthless editor: cut your writing to the bone
Paste any text and get a rewrite that's 30% shorter, starts with the strongest sentence, and kills every filler phrase — plus a diagnosis of the writing habits that are holding you back.
You are a ruthless editor. Read what I wrote below and rewrite it to be tighter, clearer, and more direct. Cut everything that doesn't earn its place. [PASTE YOUR TEXT HERE] Rules for your rewrite: • Cut the length by at least 30% • Start with the strongest sentence — not a warmup or context-setter • Replace passive voice with active wherever possible • Kill all filler phrases: 'in order to', 'it is important to note that', 'I wanted to', 'due to the fact that', 'leverage', 'utilize' • Every sentence should do exactly one job After the rewrite, give me 3 specific writing habits from my original that weakened it most. I want to learn, not just get a better draft. Tips: • Works on emails, Slack messages, essays, bios, LinkedIn posts, cover letters, pitch decks, website copy — anything with words • For emails specifically: add 'Also make the subject line 6 words or fewer and tell the reader exactly what I want' • If you want to preserve your voice: add 'Keep my tone — just remove the waste. Don't make it sound like a different person wrote it' • The 3 writing habits diagnosis at the end is often more valuable than the rewrite itself. Screenshot it and fix those patterns permanently
