Pitch
What is pitch?
A pitch is the short proposal you send an editor describing the article you want to write, why their readers need it, and why you are qualified to write it.
Why it matters
Strong pitches include a working headline, three to five bullet points of structure, and one line of proof — data you have, a client result, or relevant credentials.
Pitch topics that fill a gap in the publication's existing coverage rather than duplicating an article they ran last month.
