Getting featured in the media isn’t luck: it’s a skill. Journalist and Pressflow co-founder Bianca Barratt (Vogue, The Sunday Times, Forbes) shows how to find the right journalists, craft a pitch that gets opened, and time your story to land. Live on Zoom, pay what you can.
Many women composers were celebrated in their day, then disappeared from history. After hosting soprano and Les Inoubliables founder Amelia Feuer at my salon, I found myself asking what it takes for a story to be remembered, and what we lose when it isn't.
