Topic: Should I offer two format options in story pitch?

| mamamel | Posted – 12/20/2007 3:48:12 PM | show profile | email poster I am drafting a pitch letter to a women's magazine for a story that could be told in two different ways: as a standard newsy feature piece, which the mag runs, or as a series of first-person vignettes, which the mag also runs. When writing my pitch, should I give the editor the option of these two formatting ideas? Or should I just choose one, explain it in the pitch, and keep the other formatting idea as a backup in case the editor likes the idea but wants to see it done a different way? Any advice or personal experience you have on this subject would be appreciated! |
