How to Pitch

I hate to admit it , but I am a PITCHING Machine hehe.

I’m hosting a free how to pitch workshop open to everyone who has a story to tell and wants to get it to those who need it most.

Please sign up for the waitlist here

Why?

As a freelancer I had a 100% success rate for pitching magazines and other outlets.

The key? Showing why I was the exact right person for the job, and why they shouldn’t wait on this story.

It can be intimidating cold-emailing editors and basically selling your idea. I promise, you’re not the only one who feels nervous about it.

But as a staff journalist at CBC and as a Fellow at The Walrus I was in many story meetings where editors and producers discussed which stories to pursue. Often it was decided over one or two details. And this question always came-up: ‘is this feasible by the time we need it?’

So let me take the mystery out of pitching and walk you through the exact steps I take to craft a successful pitch from the get-go.

My free workshop helps to break down the barriers between important stories and the venues that could publish them.

As a group we will reverse engineer a successful pitch based on one of my past publications to break down the elements that make a scrumptious pitch!

Free workshop includes:

• Real world examples of successful pitches

• What not to do

• Tips on how to frame your pitch

• The details needed for them to say yes

• Confidence-building to help you start or refine your pitching process of pitching

I will propose dates for the free workshop once I have enough people signed up. If you’re curious, please join the waitlist here and I shall keep you updated.

I can’t wait to hear your ideas!

Warmly,

Aimee
