Pitching for Publication: How to Get a Story Commissioned & See Your Name in Print
Have you ever wanted to write for magazines, newspapers or websites? Do you want to be a freelance journalist but don't know where to start?
You don't need an expensive qualification to sell stories and contribute to your favourite publications – all you need are really good ideas, a really solid pitch, the right editor, and a bit of good luck. Most writing courses, in their focus on craft, tend to overlook the most important aspect of the process: how to get published. This course will walk you through the steps.
You will learn:
1. How to go from idea-formation to seeing your name in print,
2. How to find the right person to send your ideas to.
3. Sample scripts for what to include in your pitch and what to leave out.
4. How to think more like a marketing whizz than a writer.
5. When and how to follow up with your idea.
“Great tips for anyone starting out or just needing a fresh outlook on pitching to new editors. The lesson on confidence was particularly relevant to a writer who is quite weary with not hearing back. Editors are not better than you, just busy, so don’t give up! Katie touches on everything from tone of voice, to treating your pitch like a business – an indispensable course.” SARA DARLING, travel, culture and lifestyle writer.
