Missed Pitches is signing off...

This is the last edition of Missed Pitches.

Coming to this decision was not easy: I’m signing off.

In the last several weeks there have been a lot of changes in my personal and professional life: marriage, a new family life, a new full-time job and taking on a new long-term project that I hope to flesh out in the next few months.

As a result, I have been finding myself with less and less bandwidth and energy to return to this weekly newsletter even when it’s still having a positive impact in the lives of freelance writers.

But I’m not leaving you hanging.

Just because Missed Pitches is sunsetting, doesn’t mean you are; so I’m teaming up with Case By Case to keep serving you!

Missed Pitches subscribers will be automatically signed up for the Case By Case newsletter, which is a newsletter that publishes great unused pitches for journalists twice a week. No strings attached.

These seasoned journalists cut their teeth at major publications like Vox and the Wall Street Journal, so they know what a pitch needs to get greenlit in a newsroom. You can use their pitches as your own (they even give suggestions and contact info on what publications to pitch to) or simply use them for inspiration for your next story.

They publish fully vetted pitches twice monthly for free and paid subscribers can get access to extra pitches every single week!

As a writer and someone handing off this wonderful readership, I believe in the quality and purpose of their work; work that places you, writers and journalists, as a top priority.

Thank you all for sticking through this wonderful experiment with me, and I sincerely hope you got as much out of Missed Pitches as I did.

‘Til next time, friends.
