Event Description
Being an academic often means confronting a gap between how scholars understand your field and how the broader public understands it. One way to bridge this gap is by telling the story of your research—or an exciting development in your field—in an article written for a non-specialist audience. In this this interactive workshop, you’ll learn how to get an article accepted for publication by writing an effective pitch. Led by an experienced magazine writer, you’ll explore the core elements of pitch writing, how to adapt your pitch to a specific publication, and how to reframe scholarly ideas to engage a public audience.
Intended audience: GSAS and professional school students in all disciplines
