[CW:WORKSHOPS] The Great LGBT Media Pitch/Slam

Let's face it: Editors are strange, mysterious animals. No one really knows what goes on in their heads or how they make decisions about which pitches to accept, decline or ignore altogether.

NLGJA will hold a conference call workshop on Monday, June 23, at 3:00 pm ET for members who want to learn how to make their pitches stick. The workshop will cover the spoken and unspoken rules of the road for making pitches that are both memorable and effective. Participants are encouraged to make practice pitches before our panel of LGBT media editors and career-long freelancers, including:

• Lisa Keen, Freelancer, The Boston Globe & Over 12 LGBT Publications Nationwide
• Malinda Lo, Managing Editor, AfterEllen.com
• Paula Martinac, Editor in Chief, Q Syndicate
• Karen Ocamb, Freelancer & News Editor, In Los Angeles Magazine

In order to create an intimate environment where back-and-forth conversation and idea sharing is possible, we must limit the call to ten participants. Spaces are available now on a first come, first serve basis. Please RSVP to NLGJA Director of Communications Jason Lloyd Clement at jlclement@nlgja.org today.Spaces are available now on a first come, first serve basis.
