Whether it’s your first time pitching an editor or your 100th, it can help to have another set of eyes look over your work before sending it off. With this service, I offer line-by-line critique of your pitches to ensure you have a clear and well-explained story angle that will capture an editor’s attention.

Throughout the last two years, I’ve co-taught a pitching course with the online academy Write Like a Honey Badger. Along the way, I’ve critiqued dozens of pitches and seen my students move on to snag bylines in major publications. Although travel is my specialty, I have helped students strengthen pitches on a wide variety of subjects.

Let’s work together to perfect your pitch!

If you have a good idea for an article but don’t know what to do with it, this service is for you. With this pitching brainstorm/strategy session, I’ll help you clearly define your story angle, understand how to approach the article, and come up with a plan for securing interviews and key statistics. We’ll also create a strategy as to which publications would be a good fit for your pitch.

You’ll come out of this session feeling ready to craft your pitch and send it to editors at your dream publications. Pair this session with the Perfect Your Pitch service ($15 discount), and you’ll feel even more confident!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed with questions about travel, freelance writing, and more, a Pick My Brain session is a great place to start. Come prepared with your questions, and I’ll answer anything and everything about: travel planning, freelance writing, travel journalism, press trips, travel conferences, living abroad (particularly Spain & Colombia), and more.

This session is perfect for getting answers to your most burning questions, as well as clear guidance on your next steps.
