The NASW Freelance Committee invites you to a virtual pitch swap. Please bring your fully-fleshed out, half-baked, or just-a-thought-in-the-wind pitches to share and receive casual feedback, and be ready to offer helpful critiques to others. During this 1-hour Zoom meeting, we'll split into breakout rooms to review one another's pitches, brainstorm best outlets to pitch to, and share editor contacts with each other.
This event will be a creative space to share your story ideas without fear of getting scooped. This will not be a competitive arena. We’re here to support one another.
