Lots of you have been asking me how to write your first pitch. What to say, who to send it to, how to even start. So here it is: a live workshop that walks you through the entire process.

On Thursday, January 22nd at 12pm ET / 5pm GMT, FWN event host Sithara will walk you through planning, writing and sending your very first freelance pitch. Complete with real examples, proven structure, and live Q&A for your specific questions.

Never written a pitch before? Drafting emails but hesitant to send? Pitched before and yet to land your first paid assignment? This workshop is built for you.

You’ll learn:

  • Real pitch examples that landed assignments, with breakdowns of exactly what worked

  • How to find the right publication and editor

  • A proven pitch structure you can adapt to any publication

  • The confidence to hit send (finally)

This is a live, interactive workshop where you’ll get direct answers to your specific questions about pitching. You’ll also have space to ask questions, workshop ideas, and get real-time guidance.

Register below and mark your calendar for January 22nd!
