Too Obscure To Pitch
I'm over the obscure. I don't mind researching to uncover the answers on my own. I just ask for the smidgen of accessibly to reward me for my detective work. I read you! I study you! I want to write for you! I found you! I am worthy. But you shut me out and caste me aside with the rest of the riff raff. Filf flaf flarn is what you say.
You send your guards to attack when someone approaches you or them in an unsuitable fashion. I used to sympathize with you. I felt like those wanting in didn't deserve to be inside because they didn't know the basics of pitching. They weren't trained or even took the time to self teach. Scribes in training. Yet, I'm beginning to feel it's not totally their faulty.
You hide from them. You mock them. You dismiss them until you just happened to bump into one of them. Then you will take them under your wings and keep it hovered near.
Finally considered one of you; at least quasi style. When all they wanted.... all I wanted... was a damn email address to send a formal pitch you.
It's ok. Our counterparts that are behind other publications are more transparent than you.
No. It's not ok, especially when my topic is about us and impacts... us! What better way to have my story... our story told?
But you decline. Accepting those in the know or who you already know.
Dreadful.
About to send some emails that are scary to send but could lead to good things, please send strength if you got any to spare
