Tips On Story Pitching And Submissions From Top Editors

September 1, 2016 By Nancy McNulty

In my monthly column for The Southern C, Country Living Editor Rachel Hardage Barrett and StyleBlueprint Co-Founder Liza Graves share some great tips for submitting stories to their publications.

Photos are important in telling a story but have you considered hashtagging or photo tagging a publication in your post on Instagram? Barrett says this is a good way to interact with Country Living’s small but mighty social media team. Try adding #MyCountryLiving. She and Graves both use hashtag searches when looking for interesting content which will resonate with their readers.

Currently, over 7,000 photos are found in the Instagram hashtag search of #MyCountryLiving, a smart attempt in gaining the attention of magazine editors!

The follow up is still critical. No, don’t stalk an editor with multiple emails in a short period of time. Graves does suggest staying on an editor’s radar is always helpful and important. And, don’t forget manners and stay away from ALL CAPS emails. Dig into these great tips by visiting my column in The Southern C by clicking HERE. And, be sure you subscribe to the Southern C’s newsletter for tons of great content from a talented community of creatives.

"Forest Home Media and Nancy were our hands and feet on the ground to execute a flawless media day open house for the HGTV Smart Home 2014 in Nashville. Starting with a strategic end goal in mind, she knew all the right people to contact, all the right outlets to tap and all the right resources to utilize in creating an amazing event for HGTV.
