THREE QUESTIONS WITH A COMMISSIONING EDITOR 

Hello, is it pitch advice you’re looking for? I can see it in your bloodshot eyes, I can see it in your overcaffeinated smile. To help you put the “rich” in Lionel Richie, I talked to Kiara Barrow and Rebecca Panovka, co-editors at The Drift, about what makes a good pitch.

SH: For freelancers interested in pitching to The Drift, what advice would you give to make their pitch stand out?

TD: We respond to every pitch and often ask follow-ups, but we love it when a pitch lays out a thoughtful argument, walks us through the research that will back it up, and gives us a sense of the kind of writing we’ll see in the piece.

Our most successful pitches point out blind spots in conversations about contemporary issues—what the rest of us have been missing, or what’s wrong or incomplete about the dominant narrative. We look for challenging interventions in contemporary conversations, so make sure your pitch has an argument, rather than just indicating a general topic or an interesting but straightforward history. Be ambitious, and surprise us. 

An ideal pitch will make it clear why the piece is timely in a broad sense—not pegged to that day’s breaking news, since we publish quarterly, but engaging with current conversations and concerns in a way that feels relevant and prompted by something external to the writer’s own thoughts. Ideally, a piece will feel tethered to its moment, but contain enough compelling and evergreen high-level analysis that it will still be worth reading in the future. While we’re open to pieces that are informed by personal experience, we don’t publish personal essays, so first-person material shouldn’t provide the pitch’s guiding logic. While we encourage engagement with outside thinkers and texts, we also tend to avoid pitches that apply the lens of one particular theorist or theoretical framework to a contemporary issue.

We work on a long schedule, so we’re always looking for pitches for full pieces as well as for Mentions, our section of very short reviews. Mentions are lighthearted in tone and, because they’re a few sentences long, only allow the writer space to make one pointed observation. 

SH: What tips would you give writers with an idea who are struggling to shape it?

TD: Ask yourself: What aspect of this topic is original, counterintuitive, or surprising? Is there any relevant history or context to nod to? Are there any forthcoming or recently published books (or movies, or other events) that can help me ground my argument? Are there new connections that can be made within this topic, or recent developments that haven’t yet been given a full accounting? What is the existing conversation on this topic like? What are other people not saying about it? What are they getting wrong, or overlooking, and—crucially—why? 

SH: Is there any more general pitch tip that someone offered you that has stuck with you? 

TD: Know your audience (i.e., read a publication before pitching its editors). Get a sense of what kinds of things the magazine publishes, what stylistic or thematic elements its pieces share, how each issue is composed.
