Pitch
like a Pro
The 4-week 1:1 programme for freelance writers who are sick of getting ghosted and want to consistently land commissions
We start April 7th
You’re a good writer, so why aren’t you getting commissioned?
You’ve got ideas. You’ve been published before. You’re the industry’s best-kept secret.
Yet you send pitches and hear nothing back. Apply for freelance gigs and get ghosted. Put an Open for Work sticker on your LinkedIn.
And your inbox is still like tumbleweed.
You are exhausted by pitching constantly and you’ve even (whisper it) thought about getting a staff job.
You don’t have a talent problem, you have a pitching problem - and it’s one we can fix in 4 weeks. You’ll get the exact tools you need to make money from freelance writing.
Pitch Like A Pro will make your inbox overflow with juicy commissions
In just 4 weeks, you’ll learn my proven system for turning your ideas into commissioned work. You’ll shape stronger ideas, pitch the right people, and communicate your work clearly. So you can land commissions without second-guessing every email you send.
Hear the cha-ching of regular commission emails
See your ideas regularly turn into paid work, too often to be just luck
Get a sixth sense for pitches that work
You’ll know instinctively what will land and what won’t - your hit rate goes up
Become a psychology expert Learn exactly how to word a pitch to get a yes - there’s a science to it
Make freelance writing a viable biz
So your bank account fills up and you stop wondering if you have to quit
Ditch the hustle
Build a clear system that means you are working smarter not harder
Become a rejection-buster Find out how to turn a ‘no’ or a ‘maybe’ into ‘hmm that could work!’

What’s inside pitch like a pro
the programme includes 4 × 1:1 calls as well as pitch & email templates, feedback on ideas, and a linkedin or instagram content planner
Session 1 — Positioning, authority + LinkedIn
In this session, we map your strongest topics, angles and experience, and refine your LinkedIn presence so editors and clients can quickly understand what you do and why it matters.
Session 2 — Ideas, targets + opportunities
You’ll learn how to generate strong story angles and identify the right editors, publications and opportunities—so pitching stops feeling random.
Session 3 — Pitch development + structure
We’ll shape and refine your pitches together so they’re clear, focused and easy to say yes to—no more vague angles or meandering emails.
Session 4 — Your repeatable pitching system
Tried pitching before but couldn’t stay consistent? We’ll build a simple system you can actually stick to—so you can keep generating ideas, staying visible on LinkedIn, and landing opportunities long after the programme ends.
And between sessions…
This is where the real progress happens.
Direct feedback on your pitches, ideas and LinkedIn content
So everything you’re putting out - privately or publicly - is clear, strong and aligned
A bank of reusable email + pitch templates
So you can write pitches faster, without starting from scratch every time
Real examples of successful pitches
So you can see what works and apply it to your own ideas
Ongoing support (email or WhatsApp)
So you can get help as you go - not weeks later when you’re stuck.
I’ve been on both sides of the pitch.
For 25 years, I’ve worked as a freelance writer inside the media industry. I’ve written for BBC, The Guardian, Grazia and Women’s Health, worked with New Scientist, The Lancet and WHO, published a book with Penguin, and secured editorial projects worth £20–40K.
But I’ve also been a commissioning editor. Reading pitches, deciding what gets commissioned, and what gets ignored.
Want someone to take the mystery out of pitching for you?
Come join the programme.
