Are you having a tough time finding news to report?
Try a spokesperson pitch instead.
It could go something like this:
"Hey XYZ,
I'm reaching out because I'm a regular reader of your articles in XYZ about XYZ topic.
I'm an expert in XYZ who could be a valuable resource for your future stories.
Below, you'll find my bio and a list of topics I’m well-versed in.
📝 Your short bio
📍 A brief list of relevant, hyper-specific topics
📞 Contact information to get in touch
Thanks,
Christina"
Including that quick list of *specific* topics is important because so many journalists use the search bar in their emails to search for sources.
You want YOUR source to stand out when they're looking for specific keywords.
Think of it like email SEO.
You might not land an interview right away, but writers often circle back for future stories weeks, months, and even years down the road.

One thing about me: if I can make content bookish, I'm going to make it bookish. So, I posted a video of myself floating in the pool, reading a thriller from my favorite floating chair. I wasn't trying to sell the chair or land a brand deal. I was trying to convince people to read another book. Instead, my comments turned into this. This wasn't sponsored. There was no affiliate link. The company had no idea I was posting. I just love the chair and happened to be using it while reading. This...
Not too long ago, I told you I started a YouTube channel. This week, I decided to build a system to repurpose each YouTube video into a bunch of other things. So far, I’ve taken the long-form YouTube videos and turned them into shorter vertical videos for: YouTube Shorts TikTok Instagram Reels That’s where I’ve started, but the plan is bigger. Eventually, every YouTube video will also become a newsletter for Substack, because that’s where all my readers are hanging out. So if you want to join...

That box is getting checked. So, I decided I needed some structure. But not a rigid, corporate-looking schedule that makes me want to throw my laptop into a lake. I'm not that girl anymore. More like a realistic weekly plan that helps me stay focused on the things I care about right now. So I opened ChatGPT and basically...
