1:1 Pitch Coaching
Whether you call yourself a “professional writer” or not, figuring out where to pitch your ideas can be like trying to find a specific tree in a rainforest. There’s A LOT of trees out there.
It’s easier to land a pitch with help. (I’m talking about me—I’m the help.)
LOOK… I’VE SEEN MORE REJECTIONS THAN A DUDE WITH A BAD PICKUP LINE AT A BAR…
But unlike that guy, I learned from my mistakes.
Getting an editor to say “yes” to a pitch is a process. First, you have to know the publication you’re pitching. Then, you need to know what the publication expects in pitches. Then, you have to know where to send your email.
And, most importantly, you need to follow up. (Editors are busy, but they’re not inbox swamp monsters.)
Pitches are not a one-size-fits-all process. Not at all. But they are a numbers game. So if you don’t get the gig one place, you absolutely should try with another.
Making a solid pitch plan is essential to selling your idea (yes, you’re selling it!) and earning a byline.
