Day Five Task Five

The task today is to go and check out two Facebook groups and Journorequest on Twitter.

The first Facebook group is Feature Me.

It’s run by a group of journalists and they write real life stories for newspapers and magazines and share case study requests every day.

Here’s the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/166398616795827/ (https://www.facebook.com/groups/166398616795827/)

There’s another group called Lightbulb which is a Press and Entrepreneurs hang out group - this costs £5 a month but you get two weeks free trial.

That means you can go and have a look round and decide if it's for you - just be sure to answer all three of the questions to gain entry.

I would say to give it a try for a month if you are hoping for national press coverage.

Share how you've got on on the Task Five thread in the Facebook group.

There will be a Zoom call at 4pm (earlier as it's Friday!) where you can come along and get some feedback on your pitch.
