How to Pitch the Media

Virtual Session: April 27, 2-3:30pm (No registration limit)
In-Person Session: May 2, 1-3pm (Registration currently full)
Free for all QWF members

QWF is pleased to offer this free workshop with CBC Montreal’s Debbie Hynes, Manager of Communications, Marketing & Brand.

“How to Pitch Your Work to CBC” will give you practical, hands-on advice on how to get your work out to the media, with a particular focus on CBC. You’ll learn what producers expect (and want) in a pitch, how to market your work to media outlets, and how to craft a pitch that sets you and your story apart.

This workshop is offered two times: once online and once in person. The in-person workshop will be held at the CBC Montreal offices and is limited to 12 participants. The virtual workshop will be held over Zoom and does not have an attendance limit. The content of both sessions is essentially the same, but the in-person workshop will be a bit more hands-on, given the nature of the format.
