How to Pitch to Editors and Outlets
The craft and strategy of pitching: how to read an outlet, match tone, identify the right contact, write a pitch that gets read, and follow up without burning bridges. Practical exercises with real feedback on participant pitches.
Most pitches fail not because the idea is bad but because the execution is wrong: pitched to the wrong person, in the wrong format, without understanding what the outlet actually publishes. This workshop treats pitching as a craft with learnable rules. It covers how to read a publication or programme and understand its logic, how to write a pitch that is specific, brief, and impossible to ignore, how to follow up without damaging the relationship, and how to handle rejection in a way that keeps the door open. Participants pitch real ideas and receive real feedback.
