== Writing a pitch

- Create a new post with Pitch status in the Fedora Magazine WordPress interface. Pitch is the default status for a new post. In your newly-created post, write a brief outline of your post, what it will contain, and the target audience. The Fedora Magazine’s primary audience is Fedora users — including sysadmins and developers too. But in some cases we have content directed at both Fedora users and contributors.

- Once you’re happy with your pitch, email the Fedora Magazine mailing list with a preview link to your pitch. The Magazine editors will review your idea and give you some feedback, and hopefully approve your idea for an article. We review pitches so you don’t waste time on writing a full article that turns out not to fit the Magazine in the end. **Don’t write the whole article** before this step. Let us help you focus it well for best results!
