I have a prominent individual whose public image I’d like to elevate with a Forbes feature article. I will supply a complete brief, background documents, and quotes; what I need from you is expert guidance on shaping that material into a compelling narrative that fits Forbes’ editorial voice and house style. The chosen format is a feature article, yet I would also like to understand the additional steps and fees involved should we later decide to pursue a full cover story instead. The piece must weave together three threads—professional achievements, an engaging personal story, and the subject’s wider community impact—so that readers come away with a balanced, reputation-boosting impression. Please outline: • Your end-to-end process for crafting and pitching a Forbes feature (research, interviews, drafting, revisions, contributor submission or editorial contacts, follow-up). • A timeline from kickoff to publication, including key milestones. • A clear breakdown of costs and what each stage covers, with a separate note on any incremental expense for upgrading to a cover story. • How many revision rounds are included and your acceptance criteria for a “print-ready” article. PR, journalism, or established Forbes-contributor credentials are preferred; links to past Forbes placements will help me evaluate fit. Once we’re aligned on scope and price, I will provide all supporting material so you can begin immediately.
