Want to know how to find editors that are seeking pitches? If you’re a journalist or a freelance writer, of course you do! Sending pitches to the right editor is one of the fundamental parts of being a freelancer.<\/p>\n

Today, I’m going to show you how to find hundreds of editors seeking pitches, including how to easily find their contact information and<\/em> get to know their interests, so you can send a pitch they might actually be interested in.<\/p>\n

Get ready, because you’re about to learn how to be a Twitter power user.<\/p>\n

Seriously: Just a few months ago I was completely baffled by Twitter. I found it to be confusing and boring. A bad combo.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, I’ve since learned how to make very good<\/em> use <\/em>of Twitter. It’s a valuable tool that you can use to connect with real editors who are commissioning articles every single day. I’m now, dare I say, a Twitter Power User.<\/em><\/p>\n

By the end of this article, you can be a Twitter Power User too, using just a few simple techniques.<\/p>\n

Let’s get started.<\/p>\n

The first thing I recommend doing is creating a brand new Twitter account, just for your freelancing. Twitter makes it easy to have multiple accounts, so this shouldn’t be a big deal.<\/p>\n

The main purpose of this account will be to “follow” only<\/em> the editors that you may be interested in pitching. This is important later on, because it works directly in conjunction with Twitter’s search feature.<\/p>\n

Don’t worry about creating that account just yet — if you’re like me, you’ll want to see the “goods” first.<\/p>\n

So — Here’s the first strategy for finding editors on Twitter that you can pitch right away.<\/p>\n

You’ll want to head over to Twitter, and start a new search. The search phrase to use should be<\/p>\n

editor “pitch me”<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Once you enter the search, you’ll then click on the “People” tab. This will then make sure it’s searching just the profiles of editors. Immediately, you’ll see a list of editors and their email addresses. It’s actually kind of magical, right!? Who knew it could be so easy to find editors and their contact information?<\/p>\n

This is important: Please don’t pitch these editors! At least, not yet.<\/strong> As a friendly reminder, you have a lot of legwork to do before sending a pitch. That means carefully studying a publication, thinking about where your article will fit in the publication, and<\/em> then thinking of a good idea for an article that you think the editor will like. Please watch this lecture\u00a0<\/a> to learn how to pitch properly.<\/p>\n

So, back to the search results above. In your new Twitter account, you should start following the editors that work for publications you’d like to be published in. This is an easy way to keep track of these editors in one central place.<\/p>\n

Also — there are a few other search terms that you may want to try including:<\/p>\n
