Of the titles included in the newspapers and magazines section of this Yearbook, almost all offer opportunities to the writer. Many publications do not appear in the lists because the market they offer for the freelance writer is either too small or too specialised, or both. To help writers get started, we offer some guidelines for consideration before submitting material.
Study the market
• The importance of studying the market cannot be overemphasised. It is an editor’s job to know what readers want, and to see that they get it. Thus, freelance contributions must be tailored to fit a specific market; subject, theme, treatment, length, etc must meet the editor’s requirements. This is discussed further in Writing for newspapers on here, and Writing features for newspapers and magazines on here.
• Magazine editors complain about the unsuitability of many submissions, so before sending an article or feature, always carefully study the editorial requirements of the magazine – not only for the subjects dealt with but for the approach, treatment, style and length. These comments will be obvious to the practised writer but the beginner can be spared much disappointment by consulting copies of magazines and studying their target market in depth.
• For additional information on markets, see the UK & Ireland volume of Willings Press Guide, which is usually available at local reference libraries and also online (www.cision.co.uk/resources/white-papers/willings-2017-press-guide).
Check with the editor first
• Before submitting material to any newspaper or magazine it is advisable to first contact the relevant editor. The listings beginning on here give the names of editors for each section of the national newspapers. A quick telephone call or email to a magazine will establish the name of the relevant commissioning editor.
• Most newspapers and magazines expect copy to be sent by email.
• It is not advisable to send illustrations ‘on spec’; check with the editor first. For a list of publications that accept cartoons see here.
Explore the overseas market
• For newspapers and magazines outside the UK, visit www.writersandartists.co.uk/listings. For fuller listings, refer to the Willings Press Guide Volume for World News Media.
• Some overseas magazine titles have little space for freelance contributions but many of them will consider outstanding work.
• It is worth considering using an agent to syndicate material written for the overseas market. Most agents operate on an international basis and are more aware of current market requirements. Listings for Syndicates, news and press agencies start on here.
Understand how newspapers and syndicates work
• The larger newspapers and magazines buy many of their stories, and the smaller papers buy general articles, through well-known syndicates. Another avenue for writers is to send printed copies of their stories published at home to an agent for syndication overseas.
• For the supply of news, most of the larger UK and overseas newspapers depend on their own staff and press agencies. The most important overseas newspapers have permanent representatives in the UK who keep them supplied, not only with news of special interest to the country concerned, but also with regular summaries of British news and with articles on events of particular importance. While many overseas newspapers and magazines have a London office, it is usual for freelance contributions to be submitted to the headquarters’ editorial office overseas. Listings of National newspapers UK and Ireland start on here.
Payment
• The Yearbook has always aimed to obtain and publish the rates of payment offered for contributions by newspapers and magazines. Many publications, however, are reluctant to state a standard rate, since the value of a contribution may be dependent not upon length but upon the standing of the writer or the information supplied. Many other periodicals prefer to state ‘by negotiation’ or ‘by arrangement’, rather than giving precise payment information.

There are still many opportunities for working as a freelance journalist. Kate Mead gives guidance on newspaper writing style, how to promote yourself, finding and pitching stories, and how to survive and thrive in this competitive field.
Over the last few years, the newspaper industry has made the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Post Leveson and with staff cuts and more and more readers going online to read their news, the glory days of Fleet Street have been well and truly consigned to the archives. However, the appetite for news has not diminished and as pressures grow to deliver more to a digitally fluent readership, good freelancers with great ideas are needed more than ever.
The news formula
Writing for newspapers can be quite formulaic and may not suit creative wordsmiths. In press, the story is everything so how you word your article often comes second to the who, what, where, when, why and how in your telling. A trick is to assume that the reader of your well-crafted article will only read the first three lines before moving on. Although slightly disheartening, it is a good assumption to make because the most important facts should be imparted at the top of the story with as much punch and brevity as possible. And if compelling enough, they will read on. This is known in the trade as the ‘inverted pyramid’ model where the most important details are at the top, more detail about the earlier facts come next, then a good emotive, relevant quote and finally general, background information. Though quite old, the format still exists today for two good reasons. Firstly, your reader can leave the story at any point and still understand it even without the detail and secondly, the less important information can be ‘cut from the bottom’ by sub-editors.
There are slight variations to this style depending on whether you are writing a news story, feature or analysis. For instance, a feature may start with a quote or anecdotal observation to create atmosphere and the crux of the story is dropped to the third line. And analytical pieces that run alongside a story depart from traditional news-writing altogether. For example, note the different writing styles taken from the Evening Standard on 7 and 8 July 2005:
STUNNED and bloodied survivors today gave graphic accounts of how Tube trains and a bus were blown apart by this morning’s explosions.
News lead by Jonathan Prynn, Ed Harris and Oliver Finegold, 7 July 2005
FOR the 900 Londoners packed inside the Piccadilly line Tube train at morning rush hour, Thursday 7 July began as a normal summer’s day.
The train pulled into King’s Cross at 8.54am, disgorging commuters and pausing to take on new ones, and then continued on its way towards Russell Square and the West End.
But a few seconds later, without warning, at 8.56am there was a blinding flash followed by an ear-splitting bang as a massive explosion ripped apart the front carriages of the Tube.
Feature by David Cohen, 8 July 2005
Bear in mind that editors and subs will tinker with your copy to fit in with the house style – that is their job after all – so it is best not to get too precious about your wording. But to avoid your article being completely rewritten, familiarise yourself with their style. Some broadsheet newspapers helpfully have their stylebook online.
Starting out
An accredited course by the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ, www.nctj.com) is the most recognised in the trade. The NCTJ also offers a number of one-day courses for freelancers. The National Union of Journalists (NUJ, www.nuj.org.uk) also provides affordable and comprehensive courses for freelancers, both members and non-members, who are either launching their career or need to brush up their skills. It is a tough call to start out as a freelancer and many journalists opt to work for a newspaper or agency first before going it alone. However, there are freelancers that join the industry from a different work background, such as law or finance, and the specialist knowledge can be invaluable to editors. But equally, it is wise to avoid being too ‘niche’ when you start out; best to have a broad appeal first to help you get established.
If you have no experience or cuttings to show, it may be difficult to convince editors that you are up to the job. Think about offering yourself for an internship or if you have some experience, apply for paid shifts on news desks. Shifts can be offered to you on a freelance basis and are usually at unsociable hours when staff numbers are at a minimum. It can be a thankless task but meet it with enthusiasm and file some clean, accurate and swift copy and you could make some vital contacts for future pitches.
Setting up and nurturing good relationships with the people who commission your work is essential. When approaching someone new, try to introduce yourself by asking him or her out for a coffee or asking to have a chat on the telephone – but make sure they are not on deadline. Then follow this up with an email about yourself giving them a few lines about pitches you are going to send them. This will help them look out for your email in the future – but make sure you don’t leave it too long. Out of sight is very much out of mind in the freelance world.
Once commissioned for the first time, it is vital that you deliver what you offer otherwise your relationship with the editor will suffer. Make sure you have already got the green light from your interviewees and secure any access you need before you pitch it. Honesty is the best policy; offering a picture feature on Area 51 when you have sent one email to the Pentagon is foolish. Similarly, if an editor likes your proposal but asks you for a bit extra or a different angle, agree to research it further but don’t promise them the moon on a stick. They are reasonable people and will understand that in the world of news you cannot always predict the outcome. But their patience will wear a little thin if you hand them a story that is a million miles from what you promised.
Promote yourself
In this field, you can’t afford to sit and wait for the phone to ring but you can certainly promote yourself to make that more likely to happen. A blog can go further than a CV as it not only showcases your work, knowledge and skills but it also allows you to publish work that was never commissioned. If an editor researching a particular topic finds your article online, it would make sense to commission you. After all, you have proven that you’ve already done the groundwork.
It is also a good way for people to get in touch with you with potential stories. If they find you have written a similar story to their own, they are more likely to trust you with theirs. There are also online directories that can promote you to contributors and editors alike. One that I particularly like for its affordability and hit rate is the freelance journalist directory (www.journalism.co.uk/freelance-journalist-directory/s41). Another very good site to promote your work is clippings.me. This free website is an online portfolio that allows you to put all your work – links, jpgs, PDFs, video and audio – in one place. And remember to publicise your links with a simple email signature or a link on your Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Finding a story
With the internet full of micro news sites breaking new stories by the minute, it can often seem harder than ever today to find an exclusive or unique story to sell. But don’t underestimate your own knowledge and that of the people in your social circles. An inquisitive mind and a gregarious attitude can help you find plenty of stories to pursue; it is just a question of recognising the potential. Every story is ‘local’ so your own experiences can be a great starting point. With a questioning mind and an appetite for news, your world, no matter how small it may feel, is your oyster.
Equally, information on the web gives you no excuse to stick to your own back yard. Twitter and Facebook can be great for spotting the trends but make sure you go off the beaten track too. If your story crosses continents there can be great forums online to help you share ideas with foreign journalists. For investigative journalists, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ, www.icij.org) encourages cross-border collaboration and Europe’s i-scoop (http://i-scoop.org/scoop) is a great example of how the internet can facilitate good international journalism partnerships. And helpmeinvestigate.com is a good way to connect with people interested in investigating similar issues.
Do your research thoroughly. There is nothing more embarrassing than pitching a great feature idea to a commissioning editor when she published a similar one only six months prior. Keep in mind the bigger picture. Offer a photograph package to your editors; it can help sell your copy and increase your fee too. If you have found some video footage to go with the story or indeed filmed it yourself, that’s even better for their website. It can’t hurt to send them your copy with a note of potential follow-ups you could do – you never know, it could lead to another commission in the same week. Utilise the advantage you have of being a freelancer – you can offer the editor something that newspaper staff can’t. You have the freedom to explore the stories that interest you and the time to do a good job – and if you do that, you can be guaranteed that more work will come your way.
Forging a good relationship with the people who give you information is essential. As a freelancer you are a business and your reputation precedes you. If you misquote someone or fail to protect their interests, word will spread and you might find it difficult to convince other people of your integrity. And you never know when you will need them again in future. But most importantly, if you create a relationship of trust with them you are less likely to be ripped off. If your source agrees to talk to you and only you, you cannot be gazumped by another freelancer, or indeed allow an editor to hand the job to one of his staffers. It rarely happens but when it does, it hurts your confidence and your bank balance.
In a similar vein, if you are reporting an event or investigating something in the public domain, timing is everything. Have the story in the bag before singing about it, whether that be forming a loyal relationship with a source or covering an event to its completion. That way, it is you and only you that has the story and editors can take it or leave it but they can’t steal it.
Pitch perfect
Pitches are tough for even the most seasoned freelancer. They can be intimidating, unpleasant and uncomfortable. But like a medical procedure, vital. Sometimes it can feel like a minefield, so this is best approached as if you are going into battle.
First, know your editor. Are you aiming for the main news pages or looking at the supplements? Is it a feature or a lead story? On a news desk, there is almost no good time to call, especially on a daily, as editors are always busy. So make sure you know the right person to ring beforehand. National newspapers tend to have specific editors for crime, environment, health and politics. Make sure you speak to the right person or you may experience the wrath of a grumpy journalist.
Second, timing is everything. Find out the deadline of the relevant newspaper section you are pitching to. Features and supplements work independently to the news desk so you need to time your pitch long before their deadline and ideally shortly before their conference, where they feed ideas to their managing editors. Bear in mind that editors will have hundreds of emails a day but a voice at the end of the telephone is more memorable, but just make sure you are remembered for the right reason by getting your timing right.
Third, know your strategy. Some people prefer to pitch an idea before doing any work on it at all. I find this risky as you might be commissioned for something you can’t deliver. A safer option is to do your interviews and research and write a ‘memo’ ready to send to your editor with a catchy headline at the top and two or three pull-out quotes to give a flavour of what you have. This helps you to give a confident pitch and you have something to send immediately by email. Sometimes editors will ask for the full article on the agreement that if they publish it you will be paid. This is a conundrum for many freelancers as there is a risk that you put in all the work with no return. However, the risk might be worth taking to help forge a new relationship with an editor. When you become a regular contributor to a newspaper, you are in a stronger position to refuse.
Finally, be brave and go in fighting! Be confident about your story – if you don’t believe in it, nobody else will. Calculate a realistic fee based on how much work you put in, where it is likely to be placed and how much space it is likely to fill. Don’t be fobbed off that there is no budget for freelancers – if the story is strong enough, the newspaper will pay for it.
Writing for the web
The internet has transformed people’s expectations of how news is delivered. Fewer readers are mulling over yesterday’s news on printed pages, instead opting for information about the world online and in real time. This has had ramifications for the industry, with some newspapers increasing their analysis and features in their printed editions and investing in digital and social media teams for breaking news. Others, including News UK, have opted for a subscription paywall for online editions to maintain their competition. While some mourned the decline of the traditional news format, many now see the benefits of engaging with a global and interactive audience.
Social media is a vital bedfellow for online news and often can be the source of information as well as the vehicle to share it. Large news organisations have cultivated strong social media identities as audiences are increasingly looking to Facebook and Twitter to keep them informed. And with more than 80% of online material viewed on mobile devices, it is important to keep web articles short, informative and visually attractive.
Writing for the web can mean thinking less about text-heavy articles and producing creative and interactive content such as pictures, audio, gifs, video clips and other items such as embeddable social media posts, polls, quizzes, ‘listicles’ and even memes. Getting to grips with CMS (Content Management Systems) is pretty straightforward, especially for journalists who already have an online presence. But writing with SEO (Search Engine Optimization) in mind has changed the more traditional news writing. When writing headlines and summaries for the web, it is best to be more straightforward and write exactly what it says on the tin, making sure that searchable words are prominent. For instance, tabloid-style headlines such as ‘Gotcha’ wouldn’t work for SEO – but ‘Freddie Starr Ate My Hamster’ probably would. Journalism.co.uk (www.journalism.co.uk/skills/how-to-write-headlines-that-work-for-seo/s7/a545817) do a good SEO guide. And the BBC Academy give good tips for writing online (www.bbc.co.uk/academy/journalism/article/art20130702112133610).
Perks and pitfalls
Working from home has its advantages and disadvantages. While you may be grateful to miss a daily commute, having a home office means there is no escape from work. An advantage of being in a newsroom is that you can thrash out ideas with colleagues. Networking with other freelancers can therefore be a lifeline especially when times are hard so signing up to an online freelance forum or going to events and meet-ups can help relieve the self-employed blues. Remember you are also on your own when things go wrong so it is wise to have some union support. The NUJ and the British Association of Journalists (BAJ, www.bajunion.org.uk) both offer legal benefits and insurance.
Choosing a career as a freelance journalist is by no means the easy option and should come with a health warning. It requires an unlimited resource of tenacity, imagination and hope and can be exhausting. But the reward of a varied and exciting work life means that many veteran freelancers wouldn’t dream of returning to ‘employment’. These are precarious times for the industry so the real advantage of freelancing is independence – make it your business to adapt with the times and you could be helping to set the news agenda of the future.

Writing features for newspapers and magazines
Merope Mills outlines a route to success for prospective feature writers to follow.
Newspapers and magazines are experiencing their most profound change in a century. Every title – be it broadsheet, tabloid or glossy magazine – is finding its way in these increasingly digital times. It’s a revolution that is both frightening and exciting in equal measure. ABC figures are largely in decline but online ‘unique users’ are, mostly, on the up. Feature writers these days can reach enormous audiences from around the world, but finances at many titles have never been tighter. For several years now, budgets have been cut, staff numbers slashed and freelancers’ contracts have been terminated. But just when you think it’s all doom and gloom for print, there are unexpected success stories – such as the launch of the Independent’s sister title i; the launch of the free magazines Stylist and ShortList, and the huge popularity of the now free Evening Standard.
No one could accurately predict what shape the industry will take a few years from now, but one thing is for sure: every title needs great writers, ideas and well-written content. But be it for the print or online arm of its operation, making the right approach, especially if you are unknown to an editor, is more essential than ever.
Starting out
If you’re new to writing, the best thing you can do is play to your strengths. Do your friends tell you your emails make them fall off their chairs laughing? Then maybe a humorous column beckons. Do you have specialist knowledge? A green-fingered writer might be able to spot a gap in the market in a gardening title, for example. When starting out in journalism, it is often best to stick to factual journalism that you can write about entertainingly. Most comment and analysis columnists these days are personalities who already carry authority – novelists, television celebrities or journalists who have built up a reputation across many years. If you’re at the start of your career, your opinion (though extremely valid) will count for very little unless it’s backed up by something solid. The majority of newspaper and magazine freelancers are feature writers as news reporters tend to be on staff.
The internet
As a freelance writer, the internet is your friend. A newspaper or magazine has a finite number of pages and therefore a limited number of people that can write for it. Its online equivalent, on the other hand, can accommodate many more voices. If you have a niche subject and a valid angle on a story and the newspaper or magazine editor can’t accommodate you in print, they may be able to include your piece online.
If you already have your own blog, so much the better. In the newspaper industry, it used to be traditional for writers to work their way up the ladder through local papers. Today, the talent seems increasingly to come from the internet. Its advantages are plain: a writer with a blog has a stash of readily available, easily accessible cuttings that clearly establish their identity. Better still for an editor, if it’s a good blog it may even have built up its own raft of followers who would keenly follow the blogger if they were to shift to print.
The rise of Twitter presents endless opportunities for the freelance writer. The trick is learning how to exploit it. The master at this, in my opinion, is the freelance writer Sali Hughes – who appears regularly in womens’ magazines such as Red and Grazia, as well as writing comment pieces for the Guardian. When I found her on Twitter she seemed smart and funny, so I became one of her many thousands of followers. Eventually, off the back of that digital relationship, I hired her for the beauty column in Weekend. She told me that Twitter is invaluable to her freelance career: one of her editors will see something she’s tweeted and then ask her to write a longer feature on the subject. She is also comfortable having conversations with her readers – both on Twitter and ‘below the line’ (with people who comment on her column). Embracing new technology and fostering a community of fans in this way is a fantastic example of how to make social media work for you.
Ideas
Good ideas are the essence of a good journalist. But you must avoid the obvious. Don’t write to a magazine or newspaper editor suggesting an interview with Madonna – it’s likely they’ve already had that idea and probably aren’t casting around for writers. If you’re just starting out, think laterally. Look in the less obvious sections or supplements for columns that an editor might struggle to fill. In a travel magazine or newspaper travel section, for example, you probably won’t be able to bag a 2,000-word commission on a Maldives beach holiday, but there may be a small regular section on B&Bs or budget holidays around the UK that grander, established writers probably won’t be pitching for. Don’t be shy of writing about yourself and your own experiences. Again, the rise of the internet means that newspapers and magazines increasingly see the value of readers’ stories and contributions. Look for those ‘first person’ slots and think if you’ve got a good personal story that would suit. From tiny acorns like that, whole careers can grow. Once you’ve established contact and written something, however small, bigger things may well flourish.
Respond quickly to time-sensitive ideas that are the lifeblood of newspaper features and weekly magazines, and if there is something in the news or something trending on Twitter that you think you can spin a feature out of – act fast. When something is big news or goes viral and you have an idea, get in quick – before someone beats you to it.
Contacting the publication
Whether you are published or unpublished, the most important thing is to write a convincing email or letter. Keep your idea succinct – no more than two paragraphs. (Think of it like the newspaper or magazine’s stand first. On publication, they have to sell the idea to the readers in a few brief sentences – so you should be able to do the same.) If you’ve written before, include a few links to your most relevant work. Lots of people tell me they write for the Guardian, but all too often I find myself searching the archive for their byline, never to find it. It’s so much easier to point to your work within your pitch.
It sounds obvious, but make sure your idea is right for the publication you’re contacting. Don’t blanket-email every title you can think of with the same idea, hoping that somewhere it will stick. It’s good for an editor to know that you’re familiar with their product and that you’re suggesting an idea specifically for their section and readership. I get way too many ideas that are a completely wrong fit for the Guardian. It’s a waste of everybody’s time. Above all, the most important thing you can do is read the publication you’re pitching to, before getting in contact.
It’s a writer’s instinct to send things to the editor of the publication, but there’s often someone else who will consider your idea quicker and give you an answer. Perhaps it’s the deputy editor, the commissioning editor or the features editor. If it’s a more specific idea – to do with fashion, health or food, for example – find out who is in charge of that area and contact them. Make a call first to see who the best person to receive your pitch is, if you’re not sure. Always address them by name. If you can’t be bothered to write a personal email, it doesn’t suggest you’re likely to be a thorough journalist.
Style
Again, read the publication, and writers you particularly admire. They might be owned by the same company – Murdoch’s News International – but there’s a world of difference between writing for the Sun and The Times. They might both deal in celebrity and fashion, but Grazia and Vogue have completely different styles and sections. You must adapt to the publication, and think about whether the way you’ve written a piece is suitable.
There is no formula to writing features you can follow for every publication, but it is common to start a piece with some ‘colour’. This means beginning a piece by focusing on one anecdote or one particular person’s story or quote before broadening it out to explain why their tale matters and what it represents. By the third or fourth paragraph there should really be an explanation of what trend/event/issue your piece is about. The body of any feature should have enough case studies (usually at least three people) to back up the facts and opinions that make the thrust of the piece.
Money
You’ve had an idea accepted – now what? The first thing to do is agree a fee. Most commonly you will be offered the publication’s lineage fee (a standard rate, paid by the word). This can vary widely, so make sure you’re happy with this before you start. The National Union of Journalists (www.nuj.org.uk) offers a guide to freelance rates that is worth checking. Also make it clear if you will be submitting expenses receipts and give a rough estimate of what these might be, so your editor can budget for them. Establish who owns copyright beforehand, in case you want to sell second rights to another publication. Having said that, most titles have a syndication service and are more likely to be able to place it elsewhere for you, taking a cut if they do. This is worth investigation.
Deadlines and editing
Don’t miss a deadline – even if you are sure that the piece won’t be printed imminently. You probably aren’t familiar with the title’s production schedule and deadlines are usually there for a reason, so don’t ignore them. It’s also better to be open to your editor’s thoughts and rewriting suggestions. Their job is to make the piece better, not worse, so it’s in everyone’s best interest not to be a prima donna about your copy. If you’re not sure of the reason for the changes, just ask.
Breaking into the industry isn’t easy, but writing for newspapers and magazines can have many rewards – from meeting interesting people, to seeing your name in print for the first time, to receiving a cheque for your first published piece of work. All you need is a nice style, some good ideas and a little bit of luck!

Life’s a pitch: how to get your ideas into print
Mike Unwin has lots of valuable advice for would-be freelance writers keen to see their work in print, and explains what magazine and newspaper editors are looking for in a pitch.
I’m desperate to write for you. Please let me. I’m not yet sure what to write – and I hesitate to share my ideas, in case you don’t like them. But if you could just explain what you’re looking for I’m sure I could do the job. I know you’ve never heard of me, but I’m a great writer – all my friends say so – and I could certainly match what you usually publish. Other editors haven’t yet recognised my talent but you can change all that. Commission me and you won’t regret it. What do you say?
Kind regards
A.D. Luded-Freelance
How does an aspiring freelance get into print? The answer, short of blackmail or nepotism, is via the ‘pitch’. This is a written proposal to a commissioning editor. Get it right and it can bag you a commission, complete with brief, fee and deadline. Get it wrong, and the first impression you make may well be your last.
Pitching is a notoriously tricky art. With editors’ inboxes already groaning, the odds are stacked against freelances, especially first-timers. The example above may be ridiculous but it nonetheless expresses the frustration felt by many freelances. How on earth do you break through?
Every freelance has a subjective take on this dilemma, depending on their field. Mine is travel and wildlife, so my advice is drawn from experience in this particular part of the industry. But the challenges are likely to be pretty similar whatever you write about. If there is a foolproof formula for success, I’ve yet to find it. What follows reflects 15 years of trial and error.
‘Some pitches are good, most are OK, but many are dire,’ says freelance commissioning editor Sue Bryant. You may never learn why your pitch succeeds or fails, but you can ensure that it always falls into the first of those three categories. The rest may just come down to luck.
Do your homework
First, before you write a word, familiarise yourself with your target publication. Trawl the website – or splash out on a paper copy. Establish how often it comes out: pitching a story about an imminent one-off event to a quarterly whose next edition won’t appear for three months is wasting the editor’s time. And check that nothing similar has already appeared. ‘My bugbear is when people pitch something we’ve recently covered,’ says Andrew Purvis, commissioning editor at Telegraph Travel.
Second, consider the readership. ‘This is where people most often go wrong,’ says Lyn Hughes, publisher of travel magazine Wanderlust. ‘It’s vitally important that you under stand who the readers are and what interests them.’ You don’t need demographics: the ads and letters pages speak volumes. Hughes describes how Wanderlust has received pitches for articles on golf – utterly irrelevant to readers interested in adventure travel and the natural world. Ignorance shows. ‘You can always tell if they’ve not thought about the magazine and the target audience,’ confirms Laura Griffiths-Jones of Travel Africa magazine, who would never entrust a fact-finding commission to a writer who can’t even be bothered to research the magazine.
Don’t cut corners. An all-purpose pitch to several publications simultaneously may save you time but will seldom get past the editor, who has a nose for the mail shot. Mistakes can be excruciating. ‘We see a lot of cut-and-pasting,’ says Hughes. ‘The giveaway is the different font.’
Finally, address your pitch to the right person. Larger publications may have different commissioning editors for different sections, including their website, and a misdirected pitch may disappear without trace. Heed protocol: copying in the commissioning editors of rival publications in your address line – a common mistake, according to Griffiths-Jones – will not endear you to the editor you’re addressing. And don’t pull rank. ‘Never go over the editor’s head and talk to the publisher,’ warns Bryant. ‘That used to make me furious.’
Most commissioning editors would rather not receive a pitch by phone: it can feel confrontational – and they will, in any case, seldom be able to say yes or no without investigating further. Social media is also seen by many as too throw-away for the initial pitch – although, if you establish a relationship, it may become useful further down the line.
Get to the point
Once you’ve worked out where to direct your pitch, your challenge is to make it stand out from all the others. First comes the subject line, which must convey the gist in as few words as possible. ‘You’ve almost got to put in as much effort on the subject line as in the pitch,’ stresses Hughes. Bear in mind that longer lines may half disappear on the screen of a smart phone. Thus ‘New snow leopard safari to Ladakh’ is more effective than ‘Proposal to write a travel feature about visiting the Himalayas in search of snow leopards’.
If the editor takes the bait, the pitch that follows must flesh out that subject line succinctly. ‘Ideally one paragraph, explaining what the story is,’ recommends Griffiths-Jones. I aim for one paragraph of no more than 100 words, sometimes adding a few brief supplementary details (see example opposite). It can help to think of your pitch as being like a ‘standfirst’: the introductory paragraph that a magazine often places above an article.
Your ‘angle’ is critical. In travel journalism this might be a new means of experiencing an old destination or a topical hook, such as a forthcoming movie. In reality, your angle may not be very original – in travel, as elsewhere, subjects are revisited and dusted down on rotation – but your job is to make it sound novel and convince the editor that you are the one to write it. ‘If I think: ‘‘So what? I could write that from my desk,’’ then it’s a non-starter, warns Bryant.
A scattergun approach suggests lack of focus, so don’t cram too many ideas into one story and certainly don’t bundle several stories into one pitch. Settling on one idea can be difficult: in travel writing, almost any trip could yield multiple stories and it can feel risky to cram all your eggs into one basket. But editors are commissioning a story, not a destination. If torn, one compromise is to lead with a main angle but allow a little room for manoeuvre by including two or three brief subsidiary points that might suggest other angles should the main idea not appeal. Here’s an example:
New snow leopard safari to Ladakh
In January I join a new tour to Ladakh, India, in search of snow leopards. This endangered big cat recently starred on BBC’s Planet Earth and is one of the world’s most sought-after wildlife sightings. Confined to the high Himalayas, it has long been off the tourist agenda. This pioneering venture (www.snowleopardsafaris.com) now offers snow leopard tracking for the first time. Accommodation is in community home-stays, from where expert local trackers guide small groups in to the mountains. Tourism revenue helps fund community-based conservation. Highlights include:
– Tracking snow leopards
– Wolves, ibex, eagles and other wildlife
– Trekking in the high Himalayas
– The ancient Ladakh capital of Leh (3,500m)
– Buddhist culture: monasteries, festivals, village home-stays
– Snow leopard conservation project
Peak season Jan–April; could file story from end January.
If the editor doesn’t know you, some brief credentials might help: a simple sentence at the end explaining who you are, plus a sample or two of your work. Keep any attached files small: the editor won’t want PDFs clogging up their inbox. Any weblinks should be to articles relevant to your pitch. ‘Don’t just say ‘‘visit my website”,’ warns Bryant. ‘It sounds really arrogant and I haven’t got time.’
Mind your language
Even the most perfectly structured pitch can founder on the detail. Typos happen, but this is one place where they mustn’ t. Hughes describes how Wanderlust regularly receives pitches for stories about ‘Equador’ and ‘Columbia’ . Remember, you are trying to persuade an editor to trust your ability with words. What will they think if you stumble at the first hurdle? Editors work to tight budgets and schedules so the last thing they want is more work. ‘If it’s riddled with errors, and they can’t construct a sentence or a paragraph correctly,’ asks Purvis, ‘why would I waste all that time – and budget – sorting it out?’
So double-check your pitch before sending. If in doubt, print it out: research shows that we all spot errors more easily on the printed page. To guard against embarrassing disasters, never insert the recipient’s address in your email until you’re ready to press ‘Send’.
Style is important too. In general, less is more: the pitch is not a place for purple prose. And try to avoid journalistic faux pas, such opening with long subordinate clauses or overusing the passive voice. And avoid cluttering your pitch with clichés: ‘land of contrasts’ and ‘best-kept secret’ are travel industry horrors that spring to mind. Editors are writers too. It doesn’t take much for them to sniff out a weakness.
Me, me, me ...
Perhaps the worst error in pitching your story is to make yourself its subject. ‘Don’t make the pitch about you,’ insists Bryant, ‘unless you’re really famous or really funny.’ A travel editor is not generally looking for a Bruce Chatwin or Bill Bryson; they have no use for your hilarious anecdotes or journey of discovery. They want your writing to sell an experience that their readers can go out and buy. ‘We’re not interested in you,’ confirms Hughes. ‘We’re interested in our readers.’ That’s why any travel article will have at the end a fact box ‘call to action’, with all the details that the reader will need in order to replicate your experience.
Any hint of neediness is an instant deterrent. Your needs are not important, so don’t suggest that by publishing your work the editor will be helping launch your career. A particular bugbear for travel editors is ‘blagging’: securing a commission in order to get yourself a free trip. ‘I was recently offered a place on an Amazon River trip, but couldn’t find a sponsor for the flights to Lima,’ began one pitch for Journeys that Bryant instantly rejected. Whilst a commission is a part of the equation that enables freelance travel writers to travel, the publication in question does not generally want to be caught up in the mechanics. You’re a freelance; that’s your lookout.
And beware how you present yourself. Editors talk to one another and reputations are quickly acquired. Social media can be a minefield: Bryant recalls discovering a long rant on Twitter from a writer she was considering commissioning that threatened to have a PR fired because the writer had not received a flight upgrade. ‘When you’re on the road on a commission,’ she stresses, ‘you are representing us and our advertisers.’
Editor empathies
If in doubt, try placing yourself in the shoes of the commissioning editor. Invariably they will be overburdened, against deadline and quite possibly battling some cost-cutting edict from on high. The last thing they’re looking for, usually, is unsolicited pitches from writers that they’ve never heard of. ‘Editors can be lazy,’ admits Bryant. ‘They don’t like surprises.’
What’s more, an editor’s job is not to showcase your writing but to publish material that trumps the competition. Ultimately all editorial decisions are commercial. ‘You’re going to be held accountable for spending the money,’ points out Purvis. Your job is to make their life easier by offering something that meets their needs.
Remember, too, that it was you who made the approach. An editor is under no obligation to justify their decision. Indeed – common courtesy aside – they are not even obliged to reply. The frustrating reality for freelances is that responses may be very slow and, at times, non-existent. Your pitch may never reach the front of the queue.
If you don’t hear back, do send a gentle reminder. I usually leave it a couple of weeks and if I still hear nothing after that, I drop it. But never express your frustration; swallow it and look elsewhere. Who knows? Your name or idea may have struck a chord. The editor may get back to you months later, when you least expect it. It has happened to me. Don’t burn your bridges.
And never give up. Somewhere out there is an article with your byline on it.
