Let's create a STRONG Story Pitch together!


Do you need a done-for-you story pitch that you can easily send to local reporters to get earned media?

I created the STRONG Story Pitch Method with the intention of teaching nonprofits how they can develop their own pitches. However, I know that sometimes, this can be time consuming and difficult, especially for smaller nonprofits that don't have dedicated staff members for marketing or communications.


So, I'm offering a new service where I'll do it for you!


This is the perfect offering for someone who wants a professionally created STRONG Story Pitch, but doesn't have the time or budget for my private one-on-one coaching packages. This is also a great option for anyone who wants some extra guidance, directly from me, along with the deliverable of a done-for-you pitch at a great value. 

(When I used to offer this to my clients, I would earn upwards of $800 for each created STRONG Story Pitch from start to finish. Having this email coaching options saves both of us time and money. Plus, you'll get more at an affordable price!)


This email coaching session will provide you with a story pitch that’s unique to your nonprofit and is ready for you to send to your media contact list.


After you purchase this package, I will reach out to you to begin the process. Since this session is 100% through email communication, it’s great for those with busy schedules. You can send me an email whenever it’s convenient for you, but I ask that you respond to my emails within five (5) business days so we can keep the project on track. 



What you get:

  • Three emails from me
  • 1: An email with a rough outline and research options for your STRONG Story Pitch.
  • 2: An email with the rough draft of your STRONG Story Pitch including data and stats to support it
  • 3: An email with your final STRONG Story Pitch and tips for distribution to your local media outlet.
  • One complete STRONG Story Pitch that’s ready for distribution to local journalists 
  • An email template for easy distribution of your STRONG Story Pitch to local journalists
  • A mailed copy of my book, An Introduction to Media Relations for Nonprofit Organizations
  • Opportunity to book a second STRONG Story Pitch email coaching session at 25% off



What to expect:

  • You'll send me three emails
  • 1: Introduction email. You'll get instructions for sending this email after you purchase this coaching session.
  • 2: Information gathering email. This will be your response to my rough outline of your STRONG Story Pitch.
  • 3: Approval of rough draft email. This will be your response to my rough draft of your STRONG Story Pitch.
  • This package is geared toward developing a story pitch for your local media market.
  • I don’t recommend sending this to national media outlets unless you already have an existing relationship.
  • Once you purchase this package, be ready to go with developing your pitch.
  • This package must be completed within 30 days of purchase date
  • Please respond to all emails within five (5) business days.
  • If you’re going on vacation or out of office during our correspondence, consider purchasing this session at a later date or let me know and we can adjust as necessary.
  • I will not send reminders to you about responding to my emails

Frequently Asked Questions



Can I get a refund if I'm unhappy with my purchase?

We want you to love your coaching experience. However, due to the thoughtful information and expertise that is shared during each email (and specific to your nonprofit) we do not offer refunds for email coaching.


What if I forget to email you?

This coaching session is meant for nonprofits that are all in and ready to create their STRONG Story Pitches. If you don't initiate the first email within 30 days of purchase, you can receive a full refund.

If the series has been initiated and you forget to email Maria or stop responding after five (5) business days, we will consider your series abandoned. In those instances, no refunds will be issued. To reduce the risk, we recommend that you flag our conversation in your email inbox and add time in your calendar to respond.


How do I begin the email coaching series?

Upon purchasing this coaching series, you'll receive further instructions on how to send me your first email. If you have questions, please reach out to us at [email protected]


Can I purchase coaching more than once?

Absolutely! If you find yourself in need of more coaching, we can discuss additional opportunities and what might fit best based on your nonprofit's needs. If you want to create a second (or third, or fourth, or fifth...) STRONG Story Pitch, I'll offer each additional email series to you for 25% off.
