1. What are your main daily duties? I develop all story ideas and concepts for the magazine; oversee writers, interns and photographers; plan photo shoots and book talent; write content; edit the magazine; handle sponsorships and marketing; and keep the magazine budgets.

2. What kinds of stories are you looking for? We are a women’s beauty and fashion magazine for women in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley, so I am always looking for stories related to women’s fashion and beauty, as well as stories about interesting women from those areas.

3. What’s the best way to approach you with a pitch? Email!!

4. What recommendations do you have for PR professionals? Have high-res photos available for stories that you pitch. Also, make sure that your subjects are available for interviews when you pitch a story! Believe it or not, a lot of times I’m pitched a story, say ok, and then the person is out of town or something for a month.

5. What’s the strangest/weirdest pitch you’ve ever received? Hmm… there are a lot of those!

They need to get their website under control because it needs a major facelift.

I had mentioned that to Michelle when I was linking the site to her post. She said “We are completely revamping it and it is under construction.”
