Freelancing Tip

Since we’re featuring an opportunity to pitch MIT Tech Review, here’s something most people forget about pitching publications – always send the pitch! If nothing else, it reminds editors that you exist. We’ve lost count of the number of times we’ve had a pitch rejected, only for the editor to email again a few days later: “By the way, would you be interested in writing up [in-house idea]?”

Stay creative,

Saul & Susanna ;)
