ACTIVITY: PITCH TO KEEP THEIR PANTS ON
Pick a publication you'd like to write for and write a pitch for them!
Write
Check out Kelly’s guide to pitching before you start. Liz has also included tips for writing for non-academic audiences and a few sample pitches to get you started.
Be sure your pitch includes:
What your article is about
How it fits the publication and would be of interest to their readers
Why you?
Why now?
And don’t forget — public scholarship is about building relationships.
You can claim your expertise and still talk to editors like they’re intelligent human beings (because they are).
