Don't miss this Magazine Writing Masterclass with Gemma Hartley

(Psst! If you sign up Monday, you can get in for only $22!)

I’ve been in the freelance world for well over a decade, and I have written for dozens of online and print magazines in that time.

Now, you might be thinking, well yeah, cause you’re a published author. But actually, the vast majority of my magazine bylines came BEFORE I wrote my book Fed Up: Emotional Labor, Women, and the Way Forward.

I placed my first print magazine article with GLAMOUR back when I was still relatively green as a freelance writer, and followed it up only a couple months later with a print piece in Women’s Health. This was years before my viral Harper’s Bazaar article and the book that followed.

I want to show you how to land a piece in one of your favorite glossy magazines, because honestly, there’s nothing more thrilling than holding your published work in your own two hands. (Also, a writing accomplishment your mom actually understands? Mind blowing.)

I’m going to teach you exactly how to:

• Find editor emails and figure out who to pitch

• Craft captivating pitches that editors will take to their editorial meetings

• Search for expert sources to add depth to your storytelling

• Understand editorial calendars to make your pitches timely

• Negotiate higher rates for your work

• Brainstorm big ideas that you’re excited to write

I’m going to tell you right now that first bullet point is one that most freelancers guard like a goddamn dragon. Not here. I’m spilling all my best tips for pitching BIG, because I want to see you get published.

This live course will take place Tuesday, August 20th at 10am PT/1pm ET with replay available after. It’s going to be an absolute steal at $49, but this Monday 7/22 (ahem, my birthday), it will be on sale for $22 for one day only.
