David Miller of the Matador Network offers advice to the travel writer on how to craft a perfect pitch. Miller discusses the importance of the Lead and how ultimately a good pitch can only get the writer so far. Miller offers six ways to improve the lead of the story a few are:
- Lead with the narrator in a problematic or overtly stressful situation.
- Lead with a disarmingly simple and short declarative sentence.
- Begin in-medias-res, with descriptions placing the reader in the middle of a scene.
Remember the lead must be able to capture the readers attention to force them to read the rest of the story.
