Pitchwhiz is an online community and marketplace where freelance writers, copy editors, proofreaders, photographers and more can sell their work or their time.
On the site you can find commissioning editors and publications, as well as other organisations that need contributors, search through calls for pitches from editors that are actively soliciting pitches, contact them, monitor and track your communications, keep notes and pitch ideas – all from one place.
You may also want to subscribe to the What Editors Want newsletter, which collects 50 calls for pitches every week. You can use this information to create your pitches on Pitchwhiz, and submit to the commissioning editors. Find the WEW newsletter here: https://whatedswant.substack.com/
