“I’m attaching a copy of a pitch I sent to a few magazines and would love to hear your input.\u00a0 I’ve contacted a couple of reputable publicists but I just cannot afford to pay for their services at this moment.\u00a0 The magazines I’m trying to send pitches to are very hard to reach, like Parents magazine or Pregnancy and Newborn magazine. They don’t give you the email address of the editor.\u00a0 Here is a copy of the pitch.<\/p>\n

Subject:<\/strong> Back to School Must Haves<\/p>\n

OK, Hounds, have at it. I see several problems with this pitch. Can you find them all? If you were Juliet, how would you pitch this? Or would you?<\/p>\n
