Hi all,
Happy Monday!
As always, you’ll see what I’m currently working on, along with instructions for pitching, personal updates and more.
Please reach out with any questions: pitch@lindsaytigar.com
Thank you, as always, for being so proactive and helping me meet my deadlines!
A note: I’ve been receiving pitches sometimes two weeks after I send out this newsletter update. That’s too late!
Please pitch ASAP to be considered.
I Moved!
My husband and I bought our first home together —woohoo! And, we moved in Saturday! My address has changed yet again, but this time, for the foreseeable future. Please email me if you’d like to update your records and I’d be happy to share it.
Looking for a writer?
In addition to journalism, I own a content marketing agency, Tigar Types. We offer a full suite of services, ranging from blog and newsletter development to ghostwriting and more. We have worked with several PR agencies to support their client needs — and would love to work with you! Learn more about Tigar Types here. I’m currently offering 10 percent off the first month of work* for anyone referred from this newsletter. *Only valid with a three-month contract.
How to pitch: step by step!
Email only! I keep my personal and professional life separate, so the best way to get in touch is always email: pitch@lindsaytigar.com
Send ONE email per opportunity below. I know it’s a pain. But I write upwards of 40-50 stories a month, and it’s the only way I can keep my sanity.
Please do not send commentary before I send questions. I vet all emails I receive and send specific questions to help my writing process. I will never accept or use unsolicited commentary.
I’ll share outlet via email, every single time. But I won’t post it here. Just ask!
Please follow formatting instructions. As we head into gift guide season, this is even more important. I explain formatting in emails, again, as a way to keep my sanity. It’s so helpful when you pitch appropriately!
A (long) note on expert commentary
Thanks to this newsletter, I’ve been introduced to so many new experts. It’s awesome! However, there is always some bad with the good. Before you submit your client as an expert or send their expert commentary, here are some tips.
A (shorter) note on ‘guaranteeing’ inclusion
I’m always fascinated when I’m asked about ‘guaranteeing’ inclusion if an expert responds, if I’m hosted at a property, if I’m sent a product. Freelancers can never, ever, EVER guarantee inclusion for anything. Please read this before asking this question.

Below are links to my byline page for my current outlets. By clicking on these links, you can see the most recently published work. If you don’t see it here, it likely isn’t published. Unfortunately, freelancers never know when stories go live but when it does, it’ll be here. Generally speaking, please allow six weeks before inquiring about publication.
