Hi Sue,
you have a great website. Thanks for posting tips for freelancing. I have one query. Do you have your case studies lined up before you pitch to editors. This is the time consuming part for me (lining ppl up before I pitch). And the frustrating part. Would ‘potential’ interviewees be acceptable in the pitch? Often interviewees take a long time to get back to you-in the meantime the editor may not even want the story. So it’s a waste of time waiting when you could be moving onto other ideas. Also do you put things out on spec?
many thanks,
Julia
Hi Julia.
Glad you’re enjoying the blog/site. Lots of questions in there! All good questions but most/all of those are answered in the course/s I teach at the Australian Writers’ Centre (follow links from site), or if you’d prefer something more 1-1, I’m happy to book you in for a mentoring session. (Details under mentoring on my website.) Unfortunately, I have to be very disciplined about keeping general questions to one of these two formats or I’d never meet my own deadlines.
Sue 🙂
