Remember how helpful it was to read Whitney Pastorek's pitch to the Village Voice, and how we all learned that you have to have a specific idea for an editor, not just "hey this might be a good piece so let me do it"? Or maybe you read that and thought, "I know that already." Well the only way to get more info is for you all to dig through your computer and email files and send me the pitches you sent to editors that got you the assignment. Holla anonymously or non-anonymously. The first person to send me a sucessful pitch letter, along with a brief explanation of why they think the pitch worked, will be sent by yours truly a copy of "The Well-Fed Writer."
