A TEMPLATE FOR PITCHING PROJECTS

This is for those of you who’ve researched a story, been out, filmed, photographed, and edited your project, and are left with the questions…
“Now what? How do I sell this? Who do I give it to? How do I find contacts?”

Inside you’ll find:

• A spreadsheet of 100 documentary contacts, photo and video buyers, (publicly available, but part of my personal list).

• An email template for pitching stories, with conversational structure, and advice on content.

• And an example of a successful pitch email that landed paid publication with The Washington Post and The Guardian.
