| mahoushoujo | Posted – 5/6/2008 1:52:00 PM | show profile | email poster I've been writing CD/Concert Reviews for a local magazine in Chicago for about two years now and want to pitch to Spin, but I have no clue how to approach them. Can I just send my own clips or will I have to write on spec? Any advice? |
| Village Gal | Posted – 5/6/2008 2:29:37 PM | show profile I wrote for them ages ago. Why would you have to write on spec? You want to get an assignment. Send your clips with a good cover letter stating your specialties. Pitch some upcoming CDs/concerts in your area of expertise Then follow up. |
| mahoushoujo | Posted – 5/6/2008 2:34:38 PM | show profile thanks. some places seem to want new writers to write on spec, so i assumed they were no different. Good to know that's not the case. |
| Village Gal | Posted – 5/6/2008 4:49:00 PM | show profile well, I had many clips from other music pubs but I doubt they'd ask you to write on spec. |
