Have a great idea for a story but no idea where or who to pitch it to? Think you’re onto something but need help making it shine? Potentially amazing stories pitched badly get lost in the shuffle of editors’ inboxes every day. In this one-off class, you’ll learn how to pitch compelling angles, not just topics. You’ll receive practical tips for how to craft your pitch and who to send it to. And you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the inner workings of an assigning editor’s mind. During the class, you’ll hear successful (and unsuccessful) pitches and workshop your own.
