Tips for pitches

• Make sure that your idea suits the publication and its audience. Research the publication or agent before developing your pitch.
• Pitches are time-limited, so practice before the meeting. Make sure you can get your idea across as concisely as possible.
• Include word count and potential sources in your pitch. Be sure to mention if your idea is timely or corresponds with a particular season or holiday.
