Using general pitches can work sometimes depending on the product or company, but often times creating a relationship between you and your client (or potential client) will give you an added advantage over the competition. Mass email lists can give you the numbers you are looking for, but a good open rate is also what companies need. As you have stated in this article, customizing pitches can really provide you with the tools you need to start a business relationship.

It also boils down to what the product and/or service is. Some people come with all sorts of ideas which in a larger scale, simply will not work because they are uninteresting. To garner attention, and especially for an editor, you need to let them know that it is interesting, it works and needs the attention of the masses.

I can understand their frustration and people don’t spend time and effort to check spelling and grammar before a court. I hate it, if I have to deal with it.

Thanks for this. It’s amazing that they feel the need to remind us to use spellcheck. Are people really that lazy?

I think a few of those questions/answers were posted twice. This offered amazing insight into the world of an editor. I can understand their frustration with people not taking the time or the effort to check spelling and grammar before sending off a pitch. I’d be sick of it if I had to deal with it.
