Newsweek is looking for founders, Fortune wants job-scam survivors, Condé Nast Traveler wants your favorite destination
26 opportunities to get featured this week, including calls from Newsweek, Royal Tee Magazine, HuffPost UK, and Morning Brew
🥂 WE’RE CELEBRATING THIS WEEK!!🥂
This week the Media Matchmaker became a Substack Bestseller.
ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!!!
I started this newsletter because I wanted to help writers, founders, business owners and publicists connect important voices to the press. I believe media should reflect more perspectives than it currently does; and I believe in freedom of the press. I hope this space helps sustain that work for all of us… and sustains us individually along the way.
To celebrate, I’m extending the 20% annual subscription discount through the end of this week.
One good pitch can pay for a year of access. Two good pitches and you’re buying the next round.
Thank you for reading, sharing, and helping make this newsletter a Bestseller.
Now let’s get into this week’s opportunities.
