Are you a publicist sick of hearing crickets from editors? Do you want to learn what makes one prolific journalist tick? Are you eager to find out what PR pitches have actually yielded stories — and what mistakes have landed their teams’ emails on the do-not-open list? Learn it all from New York Writing Room coach Anna Medaris, a health and lifestyle journalist with more than 15 years of experience writing and editing for publications.

During this virtual workshop you’ll get a look behind the scenes of what writers and editors' daily lives (and inboxes) actually looks like, candid advice on how to sell your brand, expert or idea, insight into what Anna’s working on right now and feedback of your own pitches in real time.
