The masterclass went well on Wednesday and I’ve decided to host a ‘features meeting’ for paid subscribers every month on the last Tuesday of the month 1-2pm for anyone who wants to brainstorm and pitch to national press.

We start on 25th June at 1pm

I have been a journalist for nearly 30 years for national magazines and newspapers and have commissioned articles and written articles for others. Someone in our Heart Leap community asked me how I pitch so I thought it would be useful to create a ‘masterclass’ about how I do it and then host a live brainstorm and ‘features meeting’ once a month.

Here’s the recording of the 60 minute masterclass where we discussed:

  • What publication and slot to pitch to?

  • Who is the audience?

  • Who to pitch to and how to get your ideas to them

  • What’s your idea?

  • What’s the hook?

  • How to present your pitch?
