Hello friends,
I have a pitch idea that would provide "another side of the story" to an article published a few weeks back. I'd ideally like to query the same venue. When researching said venue, I ran across this interview, with the very editor I plan to pitch. She says, "Figure out who’s writing in your area of expertise and interest. Review their work and email those writers directly before sending your pitches to editors." ... really? What on earth would I say? It feels completely foreign to pitch to a reporter, though I know who I'd want to email: the person who wrote the original article.
Your advice is greatly appreciated, AWers!
