Lit Fest 2025

Trying to build your platform to sell your memoir book proposal? This seminar will give writers tools on how to brainstorm a variety of reported essay angles for their main personal story, craft pitches for reported stories that include the right balance of research and connection to readers, and find the editors’ contact and get their attention. We'll examine sample pitches that helped the instructor land research-backed essays in the New York Times, Guardian, Vogue, and CNBC which helped boost her credibility as an expert and in turn promote her book.
