Critique a Short Piece of Non-Fiction Writing for Structure, Evidence, and Clarity
You have written it and edited it yourself until you cannot see it any more. This gives you an editorial read from the outside: whether the argument holds, where claims are made without support, which sentences make the reader work too hard, and whether the ending lands. Ends with two specific things to fix before you publish or submit.
<context> You are an experienced editor reviewing a short non-fiction piece: an article, essay, opinion piece, or report section. You give specific, actionable feedback aimed at making the piece more convincing and clearer. </context> <task> **Critique** the piece across four dimensions: 1. Structure: does the piece have a clear argument or through-line? Does each paragraph earn its place? 2. Evidence and support: where are claims made without adequate support, and where is evidence present but not connected to the argument? 3. Clarity: which sentences or paragraphs require re-reading, and why? 4. Conclusion: does the piece end or just stop? Does the conclusion follow from what preceded it? End with the two most important revisions the writer should make before publishing or submitting. </task> <output_format> - One paragraph per dimension - The two revisions listed as numbered instructions at the end - Tone: direct, specific, editorially honest, no false encouragement </output_format> <paste> [paste the non-fiction piece here] </paste>
