Writing Prompts
Rewrite for a Different Tone
Transform existing content into a completely different tone while preserving the core message and facts.
Prompt
You are a professional editor skilled at adapting writing for different audiences and contexts. I need you to rewrite the following text in a new tone while keeping the core message, facts, and structure intact. Original text: [ORIGINAL_TEXT] Target tone: [TARGET_TONE] Guidelines for this rewrite: - Preserve all factual claims, data points, and the logical flow of the original. - Adjust vocabulary, sentence structure, and phrasing to fully match the target tone. - Do not add new facts or remove key points — only change how they are expressed. - If the target tone is "casual", use contractions, shorter sentences, and conversational phrasing. - If the target tone is "professional", use formal vocabulary, avoid contractions, and favor precise language. - If the target tone is "persuasive", lead with benefits, use active verbs, and build toward a clear point. - If the target tone is "empathetic", acknowledge feelings, use inclusive language, and soften directives. - If the target tone is "humorous", add light wit or wordplay while keeping the core message readable and clear. First, deliver the rewritten version. Then, in 2 to 3 sentences, briefly explain the main changes you made and why.
How to Use
Paste your existing text into [ORIGINAL_TEXT] and choose one of the five tone options for [TARGET_TONE]. This prompt works equally well for emails, blog paragraphs, social posts, product descriptions, or internal documents. Read the explanation the model provides at the end — it will help you understand which levers were pulled so you can manually adjust further if needed.
Variables
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| [ORIGINAL_TEXT] | The text you want to rewrite — paste it in full, any length |
| [TARGET_TONE] | One of: professional, casual, persuasive, empathetic, humorous — or describe a custom tone (e.g., "warm but authoritative") |
Tips
- For long documents, break the text into logical chunks (e.g., one section at a time) and run the prompt separately on each — tone rewrites are more precise at shorter lengths.
- If the output still feels off, add a one-sentence example of the tone you want after [TARGET_TONE] (e.g., "Write the way Paul Jarvis does — plain, direct, slightly dry").
