“Where should I pitch?”
The eternal question.
Instead of going down Google rabbit holes and wondering why editors make their email addresses so hard to find, join the Monthly Pitching Sprint with Amber Petty and have it done for you!
This accountability membership includes 3 days with curated editor pitch call outs, answers to any question, and time to write. Plus, accountability to actually get it done.
In the last Sprint, students sold stories to Huffington Post, Insider, Scary Mommy, Apartment Advisory, Atlas Obscura, and more.
Not sure how to pitch magazines, newspapers, and online publications? Get a free library with 40+ videos on pitching so you know exactly what to do. So, it’s the training you need to get started and the live motivation to keep going.
All you have to do is show up, write, and hit send. Starts May 2nd (recording available for all calls). Only $25 a month. Sign up now.
