Your chance to pitch PBS NextAvenue.org's Richard Eisenberg
Virtual Pitch Slams (VPS) are one-hour interactive phone conference calls during which a moderator hosts a client, who outlines what his/her outlet is looking for from freelance writers. Then, ASJA members give live pitches by telephone, followed by constructive feedback on each story idea.
ASJA members can sign up on a first-come, first-served basis beginning Thursday, June 29th at 9:00 AM ET to get one of the pitching slots. We will provide instructions on how to sign up soon. Members may also register just to listen in on the event, as they would for a Shop Talk. VPS will also be recorded and accessible via ASJA's website shortly after the event.
Be sure to read the FAQs here for more information.

Wikipedia is like the kid nobody acknowledges at school but who everyone always goes to for homework advice. On May 10, the Northern California chapter of ASJA was invited to attend a “Why Facts Matter” Wikimedia panel held at their headquarters in trendy SOMA (South of Market close to the Financial District), home to many of San Francisco's best-known media companies, including Twitter and Google. (Wikimedia is the parent of Wikipedia and other sites.) Among the approximately 185 attendees were ASJA members from the Northern California chapter, including chapter president Donna Albrecht and treasurer Shari Steiner. They share their perspectives here.

As written by author Brian Klems, "As David Mamet once said to me, 'If Hamlet comes home from school, and his dad asks him how school was, and Hamlet says, 'It was fine, Dad,' it's boring.'
Whether you're writing a literary novel, a psychological, medical, legal or spy thriller or even a cozy mystery, for a novel to be engaging, it must center on human conflict and disturbance."
