Hello,

I loved this post! I’ve been pitching my book for the past couple months and it’s tough. The advice you give is golden. Thanks.

Hm, from what I understand are the norms for such inquiries, that’s not a bad ratio. Thanks for responding.

Good question Patricia. Of the 150+ requests that I got, I decided to interview about 25 artists. There were a few more that I could have potentially interviewed, but 25 booked me out for weeks, so I decided to leave it at that.

Potentially useful article, so much so that I thought I would subscribe to the feed. It didn’t work with my Opera browser, so while I would be very interested in following this feed and even passing around the word, but I can’t because the over fancy feed subscription utility is not egalitarian. Now I shall have to read only when someone else recommends an article. Drat.

BTW, I remember your HARO request. In this article I would have liked to see some figures on how many of those respondents actually fit the requirement, vs how many did not.

I like posts that give practical advice – and this one does. Thank you! I’ve shared it with my community.

Since you mentioned it, I’m very interested in who you chose to interview when it was all said and done.

Lastly, for the record, I feel the same way you do about artists being interesting and being overwhelmed by the creativity of humanity.

Thank you for all you do for this community of artists.

Cory,

I don’t think you were “a little harsh” at all! What you’ve written is the bottom line in pitching. I’m not an expert at the art of pitching — by any means — but your short, concise list mirrors what an interview pitch should look like. Awesome!

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go tweet the link to this really great post to let other artists who are struggling to get their interview pitch in front of the right eyeballs know about it.
