You’re already a writer — now it’s time to pitch like one. In this workshop, we’ll demystify how to pitch original stories to mainstream publications, from feminist giants like Mslexia to unexpected outlets like Business Insider. Learn what editors are looking for, how to shape an idea from a seed into a sellable pitch, and why your voice belongs on the biggest stages. Whether you’re sick of $1 poems or just want to reach beyond the lit mag circuit, this workshop is your next step.
