Hi all!
Welcome to my weekly newsletter of media opportunities. Below, you’ll see what I’m currently working on, along with instructions for pitching, personal updates and more. This newsletter will replace my current forms I use to gather sources and information. I hope you will find them helpful :)
Please reach out with any questions: pitch@lindsaytigar.com
Thank you, as always, for being so proactive and helping me meet my deadlines!
How to pitch
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!
Samples
If you’d like to send me samples of your client’s products, please check with me first. Most of the time, I’m open to it, but I don’t want to agree to a product I would never cover. (That’s just unethical!)
Press Trip Invites
At this time, I’m not comfortable taking group press trips as the COVID-19 Delta variant continues to spur new cases. I’m fully-vaccianted, and I’m open to individual stays within the United States. As always, I can never guarantee coverage as a freelancer since I do not have say over the final edit of my stories.
I Moved!
Recently, my husband and I relocated to my hometown of Asheville, NC. If you need my new address, shoot me an email. And if you’re located in Asheville, let me know. I’d love to build a media community here.

Recent Work
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.
