I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to follow instructions when sending pitches or applications. This post is a great example of how often people don’t. Going’s editor warns against Chat GPT-written pitches, Teen Vogue’s editor sets pitching boundaries, and this Rolling Stone writer sets boundaries with PR pitches.

Friendly reminder that it’s worth scrolling to the “Companies Looking for Multiple Freelance Roles” section as it always has cool opportunities! Also there’s a handy dandy poll at the bottom of this newsletter where you can give me feedback on each issue.
