✉️ Pitch Lab: A live breakdown of real freelance pitches: what worked, what didn’t, and how to improve yours.

Join the Freelance Writing Network’s very first Pitch Lab: a live, interactive workshop led by Sithara, one of the FWN’s new event hosts.

This inaugural session of Pitch Lab is designed to sharpen your pitching skills through real-world examples and honest feedback. The session will be focused, practical and collaborative, with space for you to share your insight and questions.

This workshop is open exclusively to full subscribers of the Freelance Writing Network, as part of a paid subscription.

🔍 What to expect:

Sithara will break down a series of freelance pitches, both successful and unsuccessful, and walk through:

  • Reasons a pitch didn’t land

  • How to improve the structure, framing or focus

  • What editors are actually looking for when you pitch

The workshop will cover examples across a range of genres, plus plenty of time for Q&A and discussions.

🗣️ Want feedback on your own pitch?

If you’ve got a pitch that didn’t work out (or one that did and you’d like to share), this is your chance to get expert eyes on it. Sithara will choose a handful of submissions to unpack live.

👉 To submit your pitch for feedback, you can share it using this link. And if you’d prefer to anonymise it, we can absolutely do that too.

🎟️ How to attend

This event is for paid subscribers only, and you’ll need to RSVP if you’d like to attend as we do have a limited number of spaces available.

If you’re a paid subscriber and you can’t make this one, you’ll receive a replay link of the workshop after the session ends, meaning you can watch it even if you can’t attend.

👇 Everything you need to know

🗓️ Wednesday, August 27th at 9am PT // 12pm ET // 5pm BST

📍Online via Zoom, and the recorded replay will be sent and available to all paid subscribers after the event.

👇 Paid subscribers can RSVP below the paywall below!
