In fact, there has never been a better time to break into journalism as a freelancer—and that means this is the time to learn how to pitch.

Whether your target publication is BuzzFeed or The Wall Street Journal or whether you write features, profiles, or criticism, the pitch is the key to opening editors’ doors, getting your writing noticed, and getting paid. Questions?
