This is going to be such a fab resource for writers and benefit all the super-busy editors and pod hosts besieged by bad pitches. So much of this is building a relationship with an editor, getting to know the kinds of things you can do to make THEIR lives easier (like knowing the tone and type of content they publish) versus getting someone to make your writerly dreams come true. Speaking from experience on both sides! Can’t wait to read!
Thank you so much for seeing my vision and how this column can be helpful for both writers and editors. And you're spot on about the importance of knowing tone and relationship-building. Many of my pitches begin with "We met at TK event" or "I saw your pitch call." Thanks again for the kind words and support!
I really like this!! I want to pitch, but I no longer want to claim expertise in any area. I feel like that makes me ineligible to pitch...and I'm not a fiction writer. :/
