THREE QUESTIONS WITH A COMMISSIONING EDITOR

*Continues slapping hood of Opportunities newsletter.* For the second edition of our new feature, we spoke to Madeleine Schwartz, founder and editor of The Ballot, about what makes a good pitch. Read it and check out their pitch guide for more info.

Study Hall: You’re focusing on the links between authoritarian movements around the world this year. What pitch tips would you give freelancers who are trying to bring attention to this issue in their country?

Madeleine Schwartz: I would encourage freelancers to look at worrying trends in their own countries and ask how they might be related to what’s going on abroad. Where can we see international links? As one example: One area I’m interested in is how Hungary’s Viktor Orbán has shaped the political landscape in Central and Eastern Europe. We’re looking for on-the-ground reporting on things like repression and the militarization of the police; as well as better reporting on how authoritarian movements cross borders.

SH: As a commissioning editor, is there any key ingredient to a perfect pitch for you? Do you have an example of a particular pitch that hooked you? 

MS: A good pitch should give a sense of the story and its stakes, as well as a thoughtful and original approach. The Ballot is an opportunity to present writing on politics that isn’t focused on the horserace or deathly dry; we’re also interested in original perspectives and new and interesting ways of capturing this strange political moment that we all find ourselves in.

Since we have writers really around the world, they often tell us about events that have hardly been reported elsewhere: Last year, for example, we ran great pieces on the South Korean new “Women’s Party,” and another on a Croatian politician who campaigned on a promise to dig up a concentration camp to prove the Holocaust never happened. We also published a lot of moving writing from people living in places that are seeing worrisome political change, like Hong Kong and Tanzania. Hearing from people witnessing change in their countries is more important, to me, than publishing analytical reports. 

SH: For freelancers who might be new to reporting on politics (or haven’t yet), do you have any advice for jumping into the beat?

MS: There are about a thousand ways to write about politics, some of which I find fascinating and some of which I can’t even bring myself to read. In general, as both an editor and a reader, I’m looking for writing that comes from a particular perspective and doesn’t focus on political infighting or squabbles in ministries. Who cares about those people!

What I want to know is how these politics affect everyone else. A great model for writing about politics that remains both effective and affecting is the London Review of Books’ Diary series, which keeps the discussion at eye-level. Highly recommend. As for writing about politics, I think it’s important to always ask about the stakes: for people possibly affected by legislation, and for the reader reading the article.
