About this Event

Meet other writers, swap ideas, and learn more about pitching Style Weekly’s Back Page, the opinion and personal essays section.

The pitch session begins at 6:30 pm with Kate Neale Cooper, who edits opinion and personal essays at Style Weekly and for WBUR in Boston. Kate will share what makes a strong pitch, how she works with freelancers, and then do a lightning round of pitches with attendees. (For a head start, check out the submission guidelines for the Back Page here.)

Drinks, snacks and good conversation provided.
