Working with the media is a numbers and authority game…until you break in and then it’s game on.

It’s a lot like Substack.

You can’t publish once and hope they all come running.

I'm coming!! Even though I was blessed with my first query letter -- what they called pitching editors way back when 😁 -- I got my first resounding, "Yes! We'll publish your query letter as your first article in your column. Send six more."

That was over two decades ago and after publishing more than 600 paid articles, it's time to refresh my skills and learn how to pitch the current way.
