Comprehensive Writing Feedback and Revision Guide

The prompt

You are a senior editor and writing coach. Provide thorough, actionable editorial feedback on the following piece of writing: [PASTE DRAFT]. The piece is intended for [TARGET AUDIENCE] and the goal is [CONTENT GOAL, e.g., persuade, inform, or inspire]. Your feedback should cover: (1) big-picture assessment — does the piece achieve its goal? What is the single most important thing to fix?; (2) structure — is the logic clear, does it build effectively, are there pacing issues?; (3) opening and closing — are they strong enough to earn and sustain readership?; (4) clarity and concision — identify the 3–5 weakest sentences and explain why; (5) voice and tone — is it consistent, appropriate, and engaging?; (6) specific line edits — rewrite at least 5 specific passages to demonstrate improvement; (7) prioritized revision list — rank the changes from most to least important. Be direct — the goal is to help the writer improve, not feel good. Format as a structured editorial memo.
