Right on Pitch is a 22-page e-book where I share tips and tricks I’ve learned as a magazine editor, fashion and beauty blogger, and freelance writer to help you get your ideas out into the world and get paid for them.
In my time as a freelance writer I’ve been published on websites like The Zoe Report, Fashionista, Refinery29, TeenVogue and more.
Even as a micro-influencer I’ve worked with brands like Amazon, Glossier, The New York Times, and Walmart on paid campaigns because I was able to convince them that out of thousands of other bloggers, I could help tell their stories in a way that my audience would understand and relate to.
I’ve also pitched myself to websites like Makeup.com and As Told by Women and to podcasts like CEO-ish and The Soulcial Scoop to help create brand awareness for myself and position myself as an expert in my field.
Right on Pitch includes:
Welcome message from Austen
Why pitch?
What makes a great pitch?
Before you send a pitch
Cold, warm & hot leads
Finding the right contacts
How to pitch brands for collaborations
How to pitch ideas to publications
Pitching mistakes to avoid
Following up on a pitch email
My editor-approved pitch checklist
How to structure your pitch email
Tips for negotiating your rates
A word about rejection
+ additional resources
I decided to create Right on Pitch because pitching is by far the number one thing that I get asked about, whether it’s on Instagram DM or in person at an event.
