Me: Sure, PR team, I'd love to check out this product. Just so we're clear, I cannot guarantee coverage. As a freelance writer, I pitch story ideas to editors, and I only move forward with the ones that are approved. I would love to test the product, however, to see if there is a story I can pitch.

PR: IT WOULD BE GREAT IF A REVIEW COULD APPEAR BEFORE SUCH-AND-SUCH DATE.
