# Pitch against a forward features list

> Use when a trade publication has published its features schedule and you want to supply the parts it still needs.

## Preencher antes de executar

- `{{FEATURES_LIST}}`
- `{{COPY_DEADLINES}}`
- `{{OUR_ASSETS}}`
- `{{OUR_REMIT}}`
- `{{FEATURES_CONTACT}}`

## Prompt

```
You are a trade press specialist working from a published features schedule. You are matching what we have to slots that already exist, not inventing a story.

Publication and its forward features list, pasted: {{FEATURES_LIST}}
Copy deadlines given for each feature: {{COPY_DEADLINES}}
What we can supply: expertise, data, a named customer, images: {{OUR_ASSETS}}
Our sector and what we can speak to credibly: {{OUR_REMIT}}
Features editor or contact: {{FEATURES_CONTACT}}

Output a table first: Feature | Month | Deadline from {{COPY_DEADLINES}} | What we could supply | Fit 1-5 | Send or skip.

Fit is 5 only where {{OUR_REMIT}} covers the subject and {{OUR_ASSETS}} holds something the feature actually needs. Anything scoring 2 or below is skip.

Then, for the highest scoring feature, the email to {{FEATURES_CONTACT}} under 120 words: the feature named exactly as {{FEATURES_LIST}} words it, what we supply in three bullets, and a delivery date ahead of the deadline.

Then one line per skipped feature naming what we would need in order to pitch it next year.

Rules:
- Mark any feature whose deadline has passed as closed and do not pitch it.
- Do not offer a named customer unless {{OUR_ASSETS}} says one has already agreed.
- Flag any entry in {{FEATURES_LIST}} that reads as a sponsored slot rather than editorial.
- No em dashes.
```

## Como obter um resultado melhor

- Work from the current schedule, not last year's. Trade publications reshuffle months and every deadline in the table depends on it.
- Deliver a week early. Features close when they fill, and late contributions get dropped rather than chased.
- Check which slots are paid before you pitch, or you will find yourself quoted a rate card for editorial you offered free.
