For freelance writers — or anyone who wants to tell their story — pitching is a necessary part of the storytelling journey.
If you can’t get your idea across quickly and effectively to a busy assigning editor, as much as they might have liked to read it, your pitch might just end up at the bottom of the pile.
There are a lot of factors outside your control in the pitching process – but there are also a lot of do’s and don’ts to help you get considered.
Learn how to finesse your approach with Perfecting Pitches from our own Chief Editor, Emily Cathcart, who has not only worked as a commissioning editor for many years; she’s also a freelance writer herself, so she has gained insights from both sides of the publication process.
In this online workshop, Emily will talk through some of the pitching golden rules, take you behind the scenes of the assessment process, and offer tips based on experience to not only help you avoid the pitfalls, but rise to the top of the stack.
The one-hour session, delivered in a small group, will show you how to maximise your chances of success when writing a pitch for any publication.
You will walk away with the tools to refine your pitches and constructive feedback from a practising professional. You’ll also get the chance to chat with other participants and share experiences.
It’s time to give your pitches the glow-up they may be needing! Join us for an informal, fun session to get your ideas out into the world, and your stories in front of readers.
