The LFB Pitching Clinics

BRANCH MEMBERS asked for ways to engage directly with an editor and to seek guidance on pitching techniques and networking strategies. So we introduced our Pitching Clinics. We invite you to join us and take advantage of this invaluable opportunity. We will probably hold some more general "coffee mornings" as well: see a writeup of a sample event here.
