Hi! Thanks for this information. I’m new to your Substack and publishing in general (outside of academia, that is). I have a question about pitching to editors directly versus submitting a website form. If a publication has a generic email or form for pitches, is it generally annoying to email an editor directly? I’m a rule follower by disposition but I’ve been advised that it can actually be more effective to pitch a person directly. Would love your opinion! Thanks!
