✍🏼 WORKSHOP: Fix My Pitch: Pitching 101 with Rosie Hopegood, Deputy Health Editor at Oprah Daily
** This is a LIVE workshop and will not be recorded. Please only purchase a ticket if you are able to attend live. **
Have you got a pitch for a story you’re keen to write, but it keeps getting turned down, or worse, ignored?
In this 60-minute workshop, we’ll examine examples of good pitches and bad pitches, so writers can see the difference between what gets a busy editor’s attention and what doesn’t make the cut.
We’ll also workshop pitches from select attendees, so writers leave with a freshly polished pitch and renewed momentum to land the story.
And finally, we’ll discuss finding the right contact to pitch, tracking down email addresses, and how many follow-ups are too many.
