Thanks Lupita! Your advice was helpful although I still feel I'm in a bit of a chicken and egg situation. Recently tried to get a celebritiy interview which would have been perfectly do-able when I was a staff journalist, but the
PR company wanted me to confirm who I was doing the interview for before they'd say yes or no. So now I have to pitch to loads of publications and go back to the
PR company with the ones that say yes, not knowing whether I will have to let them publications down in the end having got their hopes up, which is obviously not ideal. Does anyone have any more nuggets of wisdom on this one? Someone else just advised me to lie to both the
PR companies and publications but this is surely not ideal either!!!
Aggggh,
