“Pitching is one of my biggest issues so to be able to pick up information from such a wonderful array of presenters was an opportunity too good to miss. I loved the diversity of the speakers in this masterclass. They covered areas I might not necessarily have thought of but showcased such important differences to the approach needed.”

“The speakers in this masterclass were all incredibly valuable and their presentations were packed with useful information. I learned about the real value of LinkedIn, the difference between digital and print pitches (and the email templates were great). I also gained an appreciation of how busy editors are, which helped me understand why there’s such a delay in getting replies to my pitches.”

There was a gap in my knowledge and I felt this masterclass would address that. I loved the variety and experience of the speakers. They knew their stuff and were willing to share it. The information was practical, helpful and relevant. Main takeaways? Fix my LinkedIn page! Network, connect and I need to be brave. I’ve never pitched (really) before so I feel armed and ready to dive in!

The whole masterclass was invigorating and inspiring. I’ll be prioritising my LinkedIn profile to make connections and hook corporate clients! And using social media to approach editors and potential clients, which I’ve always wondered about and never done, feeling they may view it as intrusive. I’ve never done any courses or classes before, apart from uni – and the sense of familiarity I had with Rachel’s List made me feel that this masterclass would be worthwhile (and it was!).

It’s easy to find and read info about anything online including pitching, but what this masterclass delivered in spades – that a google search doesn’t – was current insights and advice from editors at the top of their games about what’s happening and relevant now.
