Print is seeing a resurgence, and knowing how to pitch is the first step to getting published. Editors from Inuit Art Quarterly and Studio Magazine open with a short presentation on the anatomy of a successful magazine pitch and what art publications in particular look for. Participants then workshop their own story ideas and pitches with peers and professional editors. Designed for anyone interested in art writing, including emerging writers, academics looking to reach a general audience, and journalists branching into art.
Workshop participants are welcome to bring pitches they would like to work on, or draft a new pitch during the workshop.
Pre-registration required. Due to limited capacity, max 10-15 participants.
