To ensure that pitches arrive in the correct inbox, please start the subject of your pitch with Travel, Fashion or Lifestyle at the beginning. As with most publications, make sure to "do your research" and "pitch relevant items". Very few press releases will make it past their inboxes and they "quickly learn the value of someone who is an asset to the editorial department as opposed to someone who quite literally wastes" their time. If you are deemed a good contact you might get auto-sorted into a priority folder while everyone else is lost in the "cacophony of mass emails." Try not to ask what they are currently working on; just tell them what you have and they will let you know if it is of interest. They find same day follow up calls too aggressive unless there is a seriously great story with a tight timeline. In an interview with Gorkana in July 2014, Executive Editor Courtney Driver gave all the above advice and added at the end: "Lastly, please stop making your poor interns read scripts when they call. We can tell." The best way to pitch is to email both individual writers, editors, and the general email inbox. Writers pitch the editors and the editors also accept items from PR people. So while it is important to match up the pitch with the right kind of editor or writer, all of them plan content for the future and different people will see potential in different things. Courtney adds "don't get too disheartened if we don't show a great response to a pitch, everything worthwhile gets filed away for future possible round-ups and story ideas."
