Thanks! Great to be here. Definitely not an entire essay. Just 1 sentence. And by "professional," I mean I want it to sound good. Do you think you'd be good at something like that?

It might help if you told us what you want us to write. If it's the correction of a sentence you have already prepared, I see no problem.

I don't know that I've already prepared it. I know what I want it to sound like in my head, though. But I just can't piece it altogether.

OK, fair enough. I can give it a shot.
Should start off like: "If this isn't the …"
The middle I'm confused about. I don't know if I should then go with "the most unique" or "the craziest" or some combo thereof. Or other synonyms for unique and craziest.
But my main problem is the end. It should end with something like: "… the forthcoming writing should surely vault it i

No matter how unprofessional you think it sounds, please give us your version of the whole sentence you are thinking of. Giving us the beginning and end with a hint of the middle is useless. As Philip said, we are not mindreaders. We can't give you a decent sentence if we don't know what you want to say.

Alright. "If this isn't the most unique manuscript to ever make its way onto your desk, the forthcoming chapters should at the very least vault it into serious contention."
But I hate all of it (except the first 4 words). But that's the general framework of what I want. Thank you.

Well, being old-fashioned, I don't like 'most unique', but the rest of it's fine. It's professional enough if you are an agent for a writer and you are approaching a publisher, but not if you are trying to get an academic journal to accept your article. If you tell us who is writing/speaking to whom, we can worry about he 'most unique' later.
