This is a two day weekend writing workshop that takes place 1:30 - 5:30 pm, Saturday & Sunday August 9 & 10 at the Inprint House, 1520 West Main Street, Houston 77006.

EMMA BALTER, Houstonia’s editor-in-chief, will lead this class on The Art of the Pitch.

Have a great idea for a feature or magazine story but no idea where or who to pitch it to? Think you're onto something but need help making it shine? Potentially amazing stories pitched badly get lost in the shuffle of editors' inboxes every day. In "The Art of the Pitch," you'll learn how to pitch compelling angles, not just topics. You'll receive practical tips for how to craft your pitch and who to send it to. And you'll gain a deeper understanding of the inner workings of an assigning editor's mind.
