Have you seen these writing resources?
And welcome (or hello again)!
Hi hi!
I noticed an uptick in subscribers, I think mostly from Elna Cain’s article about must-have writing newsletters for getting a job!
Welcome! I’m so glad to have you here.
For you folks (and as a reminder to subscribers who have been here longer!) I wanted to share all the resources I offer writers. (If the copy sounds familiar, it’s because it’s largely pulled from my website!)
Examples of Edited Pitches
Three writers generously shared their freelance writing pitches anonymously, and I did my best to edit them! The suggestions are all in this document to help whoever’s interested get an idea about how to pitch editors.
