The Writing Coach Podcast 89: Annoying pitches

The Writing Coach Podcast with Rebecca L. Weber

Rebecca L. Weber coaches with the sustainable strategies, mindset shifts, and creative skills development she uses to help independent writers around the world. If you’ve got what it takes to make it as a freelance writer, but struggle with confidence, imposter syndrome, overwhelm, procrastination, time management, writer’s block, improving your craft, marketing, pitching, underearning, pursuing meaning in your work, or getting in your own way, this is the writing podcast for you.

Are your emails annoying your editor?

Are you sending too many followups? Too many story ideas? Are all your messages getting on their nerves?

If your pitches are half baked, poorly written, and an overall bad fit for the publication, it really doesn’t matter how many you send. You can’t send lousy pitches and expect assignments as a reward for not sending them more often.

Assuming your pitches are developed with the editor’s needs in mind, let’s look at the real situation.
