HOW TO #PITCH (me) - A THREAD: Back at it editing for @Narratively! I love all the fresh voices I'm seeing. After reading pitches for a while, I find I see the same mistakes (which I also made a LOT myself) or hesitation from writers asking how to go about this pitching stuff
Here's a thread for all of you who are on the fence about pitching (hop off and pitch!), been wondering if we'll think your story is dumb (we won't), and/or haven't had the benefit of a network to teach you how to pitch (hello hi, consider me a link in your network.)
HERE IT GOES:
This is a #CallForPitches for NON-COVID essays, for @CatapultStory! I'm looking for personal essays that use an external artifact to illuminate a personal story—I've put out calls for these before, but will go over deets again in this thread (please read it before pitching!!):
By "external artifact," I mean a critical/researched component, engaging with a piece of art or a resonant story from history or a scientific concept or something decidedly outside of your personal experience, as a lens through which to explore the personal story
IMPORTANT: I'm NOT looking for timely pop culture takes abt a movie/album/show that recently got a lot of media coverage. Dig deeper, bring in your random idiosyncratic fascinations, I want to learn something. The more obscure/surprising, the better.
