Calling editors of all stripes!
The Overseas Press Club has invited freelance members to send a short pitch document, detailing their locations, specialty areas, and contact information. They have been collected in a Dropbox folder. We hope that editors will find this a useful tool when they need to find a journalist quickly in an overseas or U.S. locale. If you would like to gain access to this folder, please email patricia@opcofamerica.org.
This networking tool grew out of the OPC’s recent program that awarded 27 grants of $750 each to freelance members who were suffering financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The OPC funded the grants program with donations made during the club’s annual awards dinner. The OPC is soliciting donations for another round of grants. Donations can be sent via Zelle Quickpay to patricia@opcofamerica.org or via Paypal to paypal.me/opcofamerica.
We welcome pitches from all freelance members. Feel free to send them at any time and they will be added to the group list.
