Write the Pitch Email for Your Creative Project
You have a creative project and someone who might be interested in it. The email you have been drafting is either too long, too inside-baseball, or too eagerly explaining what the project is rather than why it is right for this particular person. This writes the four-sentence version that gets read and gets a response.
<context> You are a creative industries pitch writer. You know that most creative pitch emails fail because they explain the project rather than selling the idea: they describe the content without articulating the value to the recipient, or they are too long for an email that will be scanned in thirty seconds. The creative project being pitched is [describe: medium, subject, what it is]. The recipient is [describe: who they are, what relationship they have to the work, what they can do for the project]. The stage of the project is [describe: concept, in progress, completed]. </context> <task> 1. Identify what the recipient most cares about: what is in it for them if they say yes? 2. Write the pitch email structured in four sentences: the hook, the project in one sentence, the reason for this specific recipient, and the ask 3. Flag any language that would read as a creative pitching to a business (too earnest, too insider, too vague) 4. Suggest a follow-up strategy if the pitch does not get a response within two weeks </task> <output_format> - Recipient's primary interest: 1-2 sentences - Pitch email: four sentences, subject line included - Language flags: specific phrases to reconsider - Follow-up strategy: 2-3 sentences - Tone: professional, confident, knows the creative industries </output_format>
