Muse & the Marketplace 2019

The key to getting an op-ed, a reported article, or even an essay can lie in the perfect pitch. Editors don't have time to fill in the blanks of a great story idea that is imperfectly pitched. Knowing how to write an incisive compelling pitch is also essential for anyone who wants to approach a literary agent or editor.

This session will look at how editors pick work, the secrets of getting an editors' attention, crafting pitches that stand out, and, also as importantly, once you get the "yes," then what? This workshop will help you best present not only your material, but yourself as an author.
