Pitching essays to newspapers and print and online magazines is a skill that comes with its own rules and guidelines. This class will teach you how to pitch essays and adapt your work to appeal to mainstream publications.

Toward the end of the session, we'll spend some time on how to leverage successful pitches to build a platform for bigger projects.
