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.
You've heard of snackable content, snackable videos, snackable tips... and now snackable books?!
As a book lover… I’m kinda obsessed with this.
You can get the best ideas from 10 great business books every quarter, in a 100-page book with witty hand-drawings (in this AI-era, that's hard to find!)
Check out the sample PDF here.
Just click here to request your FREE copy of the 1st issue.
The first 100 can get the print book mailed to a US address, and the first 1,000 can get the PDF version. (If you’re a hard copy lover like me… hurry up to get the print book mailed!)

I’m off to Ohio this weekend to be in my sister’s wedding. Technically, I’m the matron of honor, but I reject that title on principle. “Matron” sounds old, and no one wants to be anybody’s maid. So I’m calling myself the best woman. Equal rights, etc. Also, I’m the minister. Which means it took me about two minutes and $35 to become legally qualified to marry them, so please wish me luck. Feels like a system with a little too much trust in me, but here we are. In other news, I was having a...
If you were anywhere near Bookstagram this week, you probably saw the drama. A major Bookstagrammer posted that some of the books she used to love are no longer books she supports because of her “biblical convictions.” Just one slide from what I'm calling religious psychosis And listen, people can change their minds. People can evolve and decide something is not for them anymore. But that is not why people got upset. What made everyone collectively go, girl... what? was the way it felt like...

At first, Landon was ALL in. Every week, he was ready to check inventory, restock snacks, and count the money. (Very CEO energy for a fourth grader.) Now? The novelty has worn off just a little. He is significantly less thrilled about weekly vending machine maintenance, which honestly feels like a...
