Notes on pitching from a magazine editor

Over the years, I have reviewed thousands of pitches for assorted magazine and book projects. Sifting through those vast piles of hope is one of my favorite things to do, even though it means I must become a crusher of dreams, because almost all of them will be rejected. Some of my thoughts on what makes a good pitch + how to craft a pitch that stands out are collected on Publishing Dreams, Broccoli's newsletter for aspiring publishers, writers + print people.
