How to pitch for magazine editors the right way and see your story in glossy print
Do you want to know a secret?
Kate never actually wanted to be a copywriter. Her dream was to be a magazine writer. In fact, she was voted “Girl Most Likely To Write For Smash Hits” when she was at school.
But there’s more. She was also a feature editor for her uni newspaper interviewing Blur and Bob Monkhouse.
She interned at several sexy music mags in London.
And she was accepted onto a prestigious magazine journalism course. Whaaaat?
But she couldn’t afford it. So she didn’t go.
So she spent the next 10 years wandering in the wilderness of digital production… until she found copywriting.
But Kate still yearns to be a REAL Writer.
