[stylist] stylist Digest, Vol 89, Issue 26

[Jacqueline Williams]

Dear Bridget,
Thanks so much for the explanation. It helps me to understand the
differences. 
When you stay up late, are you able to make up the sleep time in the
morning?  Or are you like Churchill who slept four-six hours and took
fifteen minutes catnaps. What ever you do, if profits all of us.

Jacqueline,

First, I tend to stay up super late so I try to be present on Stylist so
I learn as well as provide any insight I can. I admit it can be a long
process, so I have my waves. In a couple of weeks, you may not see me as
much on the list, only to come back a few weeks later. *smile*

Second, the pitch letters I posted here are specific to public relations
writing. Since so many have shown an interest in PR writing and media
relations writing, I thought I'd share my knowledge.

These pitch letters are meant for pitching or suggesting stories for
journalist to cover. Many organizations and/or PR firms write pitch
letters about events and activities they feel a publication should
cover. In order to have a journalist cover an event/activity, a pitch
letter is drafted and sent to a specific journalist and/or editor in
hopes a person will be sent to cover it.

Query letters are somewhat similar, but different from what a pitch
letter for media publications is, usually focusing on media outlets like
newspapers and television stations.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

Dear Bridget,
Going back several days, as pertains to Blackboard and Jaws, I have to
assume that you are a much more proficient user of JAWS" that I was when
I took my class at MCC.  With time and experience perhaps I will get
there. On your present topic, can I presume that your pitch letter
contains the same principles as a query letter for a book manuscript, or
are there exceptions? I want to thank you for all the time you take
answering in detail all of the concerns shown by fellow list writers. If
I might ask a personal question-How many hours a day do you spend
handling solely e-mail from this group? Again, Thank you for your work.
Jacqueline Williams
