Want to know how to pitch glossy magazines? This masterclass covers all things magazine writing in a concise clear course designed for freelance writers who want to pitch bigger publications.

Instructor and author Gemma Hartley has been in the freelance world for well over a decade, and she has written for dozens of online and print magazines in that time. The vast majority of those big bylines came before she wrote her book, and actually led to her book deal.

In Print Magazine Writing Masterclass, you'll learn the best practices for landing a piece in one of your favorite glossy magazines, because honestly, there’s nothing more thrilling than holding your published work in your own two hands. (Also, a writing accomplishment your mom actually understands? Mind blowing.)

This course is going to teach you exactly how to:

• Find editor emails and figure out who to pitch
• Craft captivating pitches that editors will take to their editorial meetings
• Search for expert sources to add depth to your storytelling
• Understand editorial calendars to make your pitches timely
• Negotiate higher rates for your work
• Brainstorm big ideas that you’re excited to write

I’m going to tell you right now that first bullet point is one that most freelancers guard like dragons. Not here. I’m spilling all my best tips for pitching BIG, because I want to see you get published.
