Join us for a master class in pitching articles with writer, editor, and writing instructor, Mike Dunphy.
The difference between writing an article and selling an article is the same difference between building a car and selling it. Both involve a car but a very different set of skills. At the heart of the selling skillset is the ability to effectively "pitch" an idea to a publication. In this session, we will cover the basics of pitching at the technical and holistic level, including the essential componants of a good pitch, as well as related tips and tricks to get the pitch noticed, appreciated, and accepted. Attendees will also get the chance to put the instruction into action by writing a practice pitch.
