The all-too-similar complaints:
- Topics far removed from the publication's actual focus
- Mass-produced pitches that are inappropriate for the publication's audience
- Angles incompatible with the site's explicit guidelines
- Insincerity or outright lies
- Asking the publishing editor to suggest ideas
- No links to the writer's bio or other published pieces
- Failure to reveal a compromising underlying agenda
- Grammar or spelling errors
"Over 90 percent of the pitches I receive are low-effort junk," said Ben Sailer of CoSchedule.
Instead, research your target. Understand what the editor wants and needs - not what you want to share. Personalize your pitch. Do a comprehensive proofread before sending.
Conscientious effort can put you into the 10 percent deserving of serious consideration. You should then see results.
