The Secrets to Pitching Essays That Get Published
Monday June 24th @ 3:30 - 5 pm ET
Are you filled with ideas for essays you could write, but you have no idea who to pitch and how? Or maybe you have a slew of finished pieces saved on your desktop, but don’t know the first thing about marketing yourself?
Writers need to pitch editors to get their work noticed, but the skills needed to pitch an essay or article are vastly different than those needed to write one. You not only have to explain what your essay concept is about, but you have to explain it concisely and in a way that will grab an editor’s attention. Our all-star panel will include: Lori Fradkin (executive digital editor at TIME) and Sara Austin (executive editor at ELLE Magazine), Chris Beha (former editor-in-chief of Harper’s Magazine), and Katherine LaGrave (deputy editor of Afar magazine).
In this class you will learn the basics of pitching. We will walk through examples of pitches, and then you’ll have the exclusive opportunity to hear feedback about what works/what doesn’t from an insider’s perspective.
You'll be in good hands. Ruthie has worked with hundreds of writers to turn their ideas into narrative gold. Her clients have received major non-fiction book deals with Simon & Schuster, HarperCollins, and more. They’ve gotten agent representation by Aevitas Creative Management, Park & Fine Literary and Media and Janklow & Nesbit. And her clients’ essays have been published in The New York Times, Electric Literature, HuffPost Personals, Vogue, Cosmo, Catapult, Tablet, Health Magazine, New England Journal of Medicine, Well + Good and more.
Ruthie’s not only an accomplished editor, she’s a writer too. You can find her essays in Vogue, Glamour, O Magazine, The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Salon, Slate, Newsweek, and more. Most recently, she was the Deputy Editor at ForbesWomen.
