Quotes aren’t necessary when submitting a query to an editor, which is one reason why including a good one helps make a pitch really stand out.
A story proposal should have the same DNA as the final story. Original reporting brings new insight and life to most articles; even if it’s a given you’ll be speaking with sources, including some quotes in the pitch itself can indicate a number of things to the editor.
In today’s episode, you’ll:
- Learn how a quote can improve your chances of getting your story assigned.
- Find places to get fresh quotes without any interviews.
- Schedule a 15-minute pre-reporting interview for maximum effect
- Understand your resistance to this approach and how to manage it to get the results you want.
