Join Pitch Party to Transform Your Writing Practice! 🎉

November Newsletter & Pitch Party Extravaganza starts tomorrow

Hey Bleeders,

I’m currently gearing up for the third cohort of my beloved Pitch Party writing intensive. 🥳

After two successful cohorts in July and September, where students wrote between 22K and 50K words in just one month and secured new bylines in outlets like HuffPost, I couldn’t resist bringing it back.

This time, we’re adding an exciting element: newsletters! I’m super bullish on Substack, and I believe ​every writer should have a newsletter, so I structured this month’s Pitch Party to help prioritize your efforts in a way that feels true to the writer’s life.⁠

It’s such a good group and the formula is now tried and true, so I wanted to invite you to join.

If you’ve got dreams of landing big bylines, word count goals, and an itch to start or elevate your newsletter, this is the writing intensive for you! 🫵

Every day in November, you’ll spend one hour writing, supported by tailored prompts and target publications to guide your path to success. I’ll keep you motivated with daily Zoom sessions (recorded for your convenience), Q&As, and personalized feedback on one pitch, one flash essay, one full essay, and one newsletter post.

Committing to this intensive will transform your writing life. My July students are still writing every day, and the growth I’ve witnessed has been nothing short of magical. 🪄⁠

, one of my original students, who is joining Pitch Party for the third time. She worked on this HuffPost essay in the first cohort, this HuffPost essay in the second cohort, and this TODAY.com essay somewhere along the way. She’s been absolutely crushing it both inside and outside of class, and I like to think of her as the pacesetter for our group!

Pitch Party in July!

Another student wrote to me:

What an awesome experience.⁠ I feel like I dove into a cold mountain lake expecting to freeze, but I’m swimming.⁠ I’ll definitely sign up again in the future.⁠
