For freelance writers or anyone who wants to tell their story, pitching is a necessary part of storytelling. 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 about 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 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.
In this one-hour session delivered in a small group, you will learn 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 some constructive feedback from a practising professional.
