If you’ve ever wondered the best way to get your work noticed and published in the press, this practical and inspirational workshop will provide invaluable insider tips.

In Part 1, we’ll look at assessing the publication market and pinpointing how to identify the right feature options for you and your project.

In Part 2, we’ll focus on pitching, including what images and information to send, what editors are looking for, how to make your submission stand out in a fresh way, and what happens next after a publication says Yes.

In Part 3, we’ll investigate additional options including collaborating with photographers and freelance writers, putting work with photo agencies, building a profile to get you noticed, plus Q & A.
