Freelance press usually work across a range of projects and features and take a different kind of interaction. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Freelancers and stylists are self-employed and are commissioned for individual features across multiple titles.

  • Areas of interest range from lifestyle to fashion and everything in between. Some freelancers don’t cover products and are more focused on profile stories or relevant topics.

  • A freelancer's work varies but they’ll still have their own signature style and topics of interest.

  • Make sure you look up the freelancer’s website to see recent projects and make sure the brand you’re pitching is a good fit. 

  • Familiarise yourself with the topics they’re likely to cover then follow and build relevant relationships on social media. 

  • Only some freelance press and stylists have email addresses. If there is no email address listed in the database then it’s because they don’t use their personal email for pitches.
