The Art of the Pitch
When it comes to pitching an article for publication, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. You must be clear on your idea, yet flexible on how you present it, all while keeping in mind the publication’s specific submission guidelines. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to develop ideas for a pitch based on knowledge you already have or research you intend to carry out, clarify your pitch for yourself and others, find a publication that “fits,” and personalize your pitch based on the publication you have in mind. Alicia Inez Guzmán is an arts and culture writer and editor based in Santa Fe. As the former senior editor of New Mexico Magazine, she has read a lot of pitches and worked with writers to develop those pitches into longer prose. Alicia has also published over 100 articles in local, national, and international publications on topics ranging from contemporary art and histories of land use, to seed saving and food sovereignty. Her book, Georgia O’Keeffe at Home, was released in 2017 through Francis Lincoln Limited. She holds a PhD in visual and cultural studies from the University of Rochester, New York.
