How to Pitch: Texas Monthly

This is a tough nut to crack but you can do it, according to Jill Singer. Specifically, ditch the idea of a “subject” and pitch a story. Everything is big in Texas Monthly, so pitch ambitious ideas. Business journalism is needed and long stories are the norm. You actually won’t have much luck getting into the front of the book. The best bet is to seriously study the magazine and send email pitches.
