12 Freelance Article Pitch Examples That Sold to Freelance Writing Clients

See the freelance article pitches I sent to editors, content managers and brand managers to get articles published on pet websites, fashion retailer blogs, B2B brand sites, and more.

Use these examples as a guide on how to improve your subject lines, body copy, and think in terms of headlines when writing your freelance pitch.

“This guide is filled with practical information on pitching. Its case-study format basically shares 12 actual pitches to editors, along with comments received by the editors. The pitches span a variety of writing topics and serve as great examples of concise templates that writers can use as models for their own pitches. This is especially well suited to new writers who want guidance on targeted pitching, but will also suit any writer who just wants to tighten up their own pitching style!” ~Nicola Parry, Medical Writer

"It was helpful to know how concise my pitches should be and what type of information should be included. The guide also helped me understand how I may have included too much information in past pitches. I loved how you showed how to write a pitch for an email that contains multiple pitches. " -Tracey Cheung

"I really enjoyed/found it useful reading the 12 pitches pdf as it’s super helpful to see how other writers pitch. I was delighted you shared one idea that took eight months to be commissioned as that can definitely happen but you rarely read about them taking that long to get the thumbs up." - Julie Penfold
