Shape an expert's view into a submission an editor can use.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[ADD SOURCE] [VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Help me prepare an opinion article. Author and credentials: [AUTHOR_AND_CREDENTIALS]. Argument in one sentence: [ARGUMENT]. Evidence available: [EVIDENCE]. Target outlet and word limit: [OUTLET_AND_LIMIT]. Produce an outline with a hook, thesis, three supporting points with evidence, the strongest counterargument and a reply, and a call to action. Then write a pitch email to the opinion editor under 120 words, with a subject line. Keep claims within the evidence given; mark gaps [ADD SOURCE]. Check the outlet's submission guidelines [VERIFY], include a disclosure of conflicts of interest, and keep the tone fair to opposing views. Do not invent data or quotations. Add guidance on the opening paragraph, which should make the editor care within two sentences, and on the structure of the argument so that each paragraph advances it. Provide a way to test the thesis: write the best objection in its strongest form and answer it. Include a version of the article summary of 60 words for a newsletter. Remind the author to disclose conflicts of interest and to credit sources, and that the editor may change the headline.
