MENTIONED ON THIS EPISODE

Are your emails annoying your editor? Are you sending too many followups? Too many story ideas? Are all your messages getting on their nerves?

If your pitches are half baked, poorly written, and an overall bad fit for the publication, it really doesn’t matter how many you send. You can’t send lousy pitches and expect assignments as a reward for not sending them more often.

Assuming your pitches are developed with the editor’s needs in mind, let’s look at the real situation.
