Take a look at some super snazzy pitches!

Hey everybody! Welcome to the first pitch email of the summer!

Hi! Today we had our first general meeting of the summer! If you couldn't make it, that's totally okay because I have pitches for you right here in this very emailAs I said in my last email to you all, the general meetings will take place once a month over the spring and summer, but that doesn't mean we don't put out content in between! If at any point you would like to write an opinion piece and have a pitch for yourself, don't be shy! I love pitch emails. If you want to write one of these articles, great! Just reply to this email with which one you would like and what your take is on it. If you would like to contact me but don't have my information, that is also not a problem! You can email me right here at [email protected]
