Professional Development Month – Virtual Pitch Slam 1
June 16, 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Some of DC’s finest editors will share what stories they’re looking for and give advice for how to pitch their publication with a Q&A portion to follow during which you can ask general questions about pitching. Optional: You are encouraged to prepare a pitch that can be presented in 90 seconds, after which you’ll get feedback on it from the panel. Note: This session will not be recorded and attendees are expected to keep others’ pitches confidential.
Editors joining the panel:
Lisa Moore, the editorial director and editor-in-chief of National Wildlife magazine, “an award-winning publication that goes to roughly 450,000 members of the National Wildlife Federation as a benefit of membership.”
Sarah Zielinski, the managing editor of Science News for Students, “a free, award-winning online publication dedicated to providing age-appropriate science news to learners, parents and educators.” Science News for Students is published by the Society for Science & the Public.
