When is the best time to pitch Stylist magazine?
FT
From Felicity Thistlethwaite (Head of Digital, Stylist) in her Pressflow Journalist Q&A
The best time to pitch Stylist depends on their weekly meeting schedule:
- Avoid Tuesday mornings: the major features meeting means editors already have their ideas locked. Pitching then gets your email swallowed whole.
- Pitch ahead of Monday mornings: strategy and fortnightly planning are set Monday, with daily news meetings at 9:45 AM.
- Be fast on reactive hooks: when a cultural moment breaks, the expert who replies fastest often gets the slot.
