Write [anything] for me — the one ChatGPT writing prompt
A single flexible writing prompt that works for emails, posts, messages, bios, cover letters, and anything else — fills in the context ChatGPT needs to write something actually usable.
Write a [TYPE OF CONTENT] for me. Context: - What it's for: [WHO WILL READ IT AND WHERE — e.g. 'a hiring manager reading my job application', 'my Instagram followers who know me personally'] - Topic or situation: [WHAT IT'S ABOUT IN 1-2 SENTENCES] - Tone: [formal / casual / warm / direct / funny / professional] - Length: [short (under 150 words) / medium (150-400 words) / long (400+ words)] - One thing it must do or say: [THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT POINT OR CALL TO ACTION] - One thing to avoid: [ANYTHING TO KEEP OUT — jargon, a specific phrase, a topic] Write the full piece, then on a new line give me one alternative version that takes a different angle. Tips: • The 'who will read it and where' field changes everything — 'a recruiter who reads 200 applications a day' produces sharper output than 'a hiring manager' • The 'one thing to avoid' field is surprisingly powerful for removing AI filler phrases that make writing feel generic • After the first draft: 'Cut 30% of the words without losing any meaning' almost always makes it better • For emails specifically: add 'also write 3 subject line options, each under 8 words' at the end
