Overview
Most first-draft prose carries dead weight: sentences that say the same thing twice, adjectives that do the noun's job, verbs weakened by adverbs, passive constructions that remove agency, clichés that arrive before the writer has thought of the specific thing. Revision at the sentence level is not about making prose "better" in the abstract — it is about making every sentence do exactly what it needs to do and nothing else.
The Prose Style & Sentence-Level Revision Prompt takes a passage of draft prose and revises it at the sentence level: cutting redundancy, strengthening verbs, eliminating clichés, sharpening rhythm, and making every word earn its place — while preserving the writer's voice and intention.
What you get: - Diagnosis of the passage's specific problems - Revised passage with tracked changes explained - Sentence-by-sentence analysis of key revisions - The writer's voice preserved and strengthened - Style rules derived from the revision
Built for: Novelists, short story writers, and any writer who wants to improve prose at the sentence level without losing their voice.
