Some housekeeping rules regarding the care and feeding of this blog. In addition to reading the posts, you have other opportunities to interact with Bad Pitch content.
1) We want ALL pitches, good, bad and ugly
"Give us your good, your bad...Your unsung pitches yearning to breathe free." With apologies to lady liberty and all, keep sending bad pitches our way. We keep you and the sender as anonymous as you want. But we also profile good pitches. In fact, you might argue we want those even more than the bad ones. So if you receive a good pitch, send it along with some context as to why it's good. And if you created a good pitch, send us the pitch and a link to ink. We'll take it from there.
2) Guest Posts
Guest posts are also welcome. But we don't recycle...when it comes to guest posts. So if you send us a post, written and ready to publish? We won't even read it. But if you have an idea? Send it to us and we can go from there. Once it's written, you own the post. So once it's published here, you will have ample opportunity to cross-promote and, eventually, recycle...if you choose to do so.
3) Richard vs. Kevin vs. Blogger vs. Name
If you're sending a pitch to our general email at badpitch AT gmail DOT com, don't start it with Richard OR Kevin. The person sending it to Richard AND Kevin? They immediately become our bestie. And their pitch will not suck -- on principle alone. Every pitch that starts with feigned customization? Those pitches suck on principle alone. But if you send a pitch to NAME? Those make us laugh. At you.
Our readers rock. That means you rock. You have helped us make it clear that our industry will not be defined by the actions of its minority. And, while the above may sound likes rules, these guidelines are hopefully encouraging you with other ways to get your Bad Pitch fix.
