TO HELP YOU CRAFT YOUR PITCH:

• Learn more about the publication: Prism is a BIPOC-led non-profit news outlet that centers the people, places, and issues currently underreported by national media. It is committed to producing the kind of journalism that treats Black, Indigenous, and people of color, women, the LGBTQ+ community, and other invisibilized groups as the experts on their own lived experiences, their resilience, and their fights for justice. More information here.
• Read through its selection of recent social justice-related stories/articles on its website.
• Review the submission guidelines here. Note that these are the publication's general guidelines to help you refine your pitch. You must still follow the editor's specific instructions above.
• Check out our collection of pitch excerpts on this page and find more sample pitches at The Open Notebook Database and at SuccessfulPitches.com.
• Do not forget to end your pitch with (1) a short introduction about yourself; (2) a paragraph highlighting your writing experience, relevant credentials and publication credits; and (3) links to your strongest work or portfolio, and online profile.
