Ink to Influence & Pitch Lab
Where we transform lived experience into presence, purpose & publication.
Ink to Influence is a 2-hour workshop where you’ll take something that you’ve lived—raw, ridiculous, revealing, or relatably ordinary—and turn it into five publication-ready pitches. You’ll leave with a clearer voice, five solid submissions, and a deeper understanding of the impact of your story. And at the end of the 2 hours, you’ll actually hit send.
Plus, Pitch Lab…
We’ll also meet live on Zoom at 10:00 AM Pacific / 10:00 AM Todos Santos time on Saturday, April 19 for a live follow-up Pitch Lab.
