Over the course of the last four weeks, I have probably emailed out between 50 and 60 pitches to editors. I’ll explain what that entails, as I had no clue until I started doing it. A “pitch” is essentially an idea for an article. In it, you create a mini-essay which clearly states what you want to write about. You have to sell yourself and your idea to an endlessly exhausted editor.
Haha, Lauren -- This is EXACTLY why I am not going the freelance route right now. I am going crazy just trying to build a network. And, funnily enough (can you really say funnily?), I just wrote my intro Substack letter and included that whole "they" and "niche" stuff. :) Wanna be one of my subscribers? I have 12 so far ... haha!
