The Freelance Writer’s Playbook with Nevin Martell

(https://mailchi.mp/fe0d8a0cc7a6/chefs...) “No one buys a story—editors buy a pitch.” That’s the frame for today’s conversation with D.C.–area journalist, photographer and writing coach Nevin Martell. You’ve seen his byline in places like The Washington Post, Washingtonian and The Boston Globe. He’s the author of eight books (including Looking for Calvin and Hobbes, The Founding Farmers Cookbook and the Red Truck Bakery Cookbook). This episode is a practical, candid look at how to build and sustain a writing life. Nevin lays out his ladder—social → local → regional → national, and explains why editors buy pitches, not finished stories. We talk about sharpening ideas, writing tight queries and why relationships and reputation are the real currency.  There’s frank talk on “working for exposure,” managing rejection and uncertainty, and balancing service pieces that pay the bills with work that feeds your soul.  NEVIN MARTELL Nevin's Instagram (  / nevinmartell  ) and Threads (https://www.threads.com/@nevinmartell) Check out Nevin's website (https://www.nevinmartell.com/) "Decadent Desserts in the DC-Area to Get Your Veggie Intake (https://www.washingtonian.com/2025/03...)
