About this tool
A paragraph rewriter is a scalpel. Paste prose you already believe in, pick a goal (clearer, tighter, more atmospheric), and get three distinct versions that keep your facts, POV, and plot — so you can mix lines instead of surrendering the paragraph.
How to use it
- Paste one paragraph, not a scene.
- Choose a single goal. “Literary and punchier and shorter” is three jobs.
- Add voice notes: close third, past, no dialect parody.
- Keep the version that still sounds like you under pressure.
Examples
Input
Goal: tighter · A 90-word hallway walk with three weather reports.
What you get
Three shorter versions that keep the destination and the character’s reluctance, cut the sky.
Input
Goal: atmospheric · Genre: Horror · A kitchen at 2 a.m.
What you get
Sensory options that do not add a new monster or a new plot beat.
Input
Goal: more show · She was angry at the board.
What you get
Versions where anger lives in what she does to the water glass, not the adjective.
Rewrite without losing authorship
One goal
The model will compromise if you stack aims. Run two passes if you need tight and then lyrical.
Facts are sacred
Names, times, and plot points in the original should survive. If a version invents a sibling, throw that version out.
Three options are a palette
The useful draft is often a sentence from A and a clause from C.
Avoid
- Pasting a scene and expecting elaboration — that is the scene elaborator.
- Using “literary” as a request for more adjectives.
