Bring a story idea to the pitch slam, present it briefly to a panel of editors, and get immediate feedback on how to make the story work for the editors’ publications. You have one minute to pitch and may direct the pitch to the full panel or to a particular editor. This is a great way to see how editors think and demystify the pitching process. We’ll leave time at the end for questions and informal discussion with the panelists.
