SUMMARY:Packaging the perfect pitch
DESCRIPTION:Recording\nWatch the webcast \nSpeakers’ presentations\n• Jessica Bylander • Anna Maltby \n\nMarch 10\, noon ET\nThe perfect story pitch needs to answer detailed questions in a relatively short word length: why this story; why this story is perfect for this particular publication; why this story needs to be covered now; and how this story has been covered in the past. \nYou also need to sell yourself as the perfect writer. Obviously\, a strong pitch can take more of an effort than pasting a link to a press release into an email and saying\, “Hey did you see this?” \nIn this webcast\, two experienced editors\, Jessica Bylander of Health Affairs and Anna Maltby of Refinery29\, will talk about pitching to their publications. They also will give advice on how to package a successful pitch\, and how to package a successful story idea.  \nJeanne Erdmann\, an AHCJ board member and veteran freelance writer\, will moderate the webcast and submit your questions to the editors. \nAbout the speakers\nJessica Bylander (@jebylander) is a senior editor at Health Affairs and editor of the Narrative Matters section of the journal.
