I found that sharing my unpolished pitches via twitter and Instagram a week beforehand was a good way to gain feedback from social media users who "know" the venue well and also a good way to gain some encouragement and support. I know a few retweets I received for my pitches came from social media friends who helped me polish my pitch.Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-61154692178399176562019-02-25T14:06:07.293-05:002019-02-25T14:06:07.293-05:00And that is awesome, Sherry!And that is awesome, Sherry!Alex J.
