You have a great idea for a spellbinding article, celebrity profile, or reported essay that you're dying to get published. How do you make your pitch stand out so it doesn't disappear into the slush pile? How do you target the right editor at the right publication? In this one day class, veteran journalist Marc Cooper (Atlantic Monthly, NY Times, Playboy, Rolling Stone) will pull back the curtain of secrecy to show you what editors look for in queries and the process for landing a writing assignment. Through an informative craft talk and targeted feedback from the instructor, you'll learn how to make your story idea relevant and give it some extra umph. Marc will also cover how to splice the same story to multiple outlets, share his secret formula for a good pitch, reveal her strategy for how to maximize readership, and give tips for working your outlets for additional work. By the end of class, you will have created a query letter and pitch that is so compelling that you'll be on your way to a feature contract and you'll have learned some invaluable tools to keep getting published!
