Connect with Reporters who Want to Hear Your Message: Tips for Perfect Pitch Letters

Download mp3 from preview call

In this in person workshop you will learn how to:

 - Contact reporters, bloggers, talk show producers and other media people directly, using the language they understand.
 
 - Link your product, service or story to news of the day or issues on the national stage.
 
 - Practice writing a powerful pitch letter that hooks the media and makes them want to know more about you and what you do.
 
 - The difference between a pitch letter and a press release and how to know which one to send when you want publicity.
   
Does a good pitch letter guarantee an interview tomorrow? That depends on the media person's needs, but it does put you on their radar and establish you as an expert they can call on for upcoming shows and stories. It makes them think: "This guest knows how to help our readers or audience solve a problem that matters in their lives."
 
You'll leave this class knowing how a well-written pitch letter can breathe new life into your book, film, product or service by showing the media why what you do − or have done − will fascinate readers and listeners, and why they should care.
