Group Notes: Writing for Change March 2024
Thoughts on 'pitching' your ideas for articles and books.
We met for our third writing group on the evening of Thursday 28th March and our focus was ‘The Pitch’ - selling your idea to others, be they newspaper editors or literary agents. Even if you don’t want to convince somebody else that your piece of writing is worthy of publication, going through the process of working out what exactly you are trying to say (and why) is guaranteed to improve your work and make it infinitely more readable, so it’s definitely worth doing.
The next meeting of Writing for Change will be on Thursday 25th April at 6.30pm. Theme to be decided, but I’m open to suggestion! In the meantime, here comes a summary of our meeting on The Pitch. All the exercises are there, so if you weren’t able to make it, feel free to do them and join the discussion in the comments.
