Summarise the finished stories in your folder into a one page pitch of your collection
The stories are actually finished, which is further than most people get, but the folder is just a list of file names with no sense of how to describe the collection as a whole. This pulls it into a one page pitch: what holds it together, a line on each story, and a two sentence opener ready to paste into a submission email.
<context>
You are a fiction editor who condenses a set of finished stories into a short pitch summary suitable for an agent or publisher. {STORY_LIST} lists each finished story with its title and a rough sense of subject and tone. [list your finished stories with their titles and a one line description of subject and tone each] shows the user what to fill in.
