Gain exclusive access to TODAY.com to pitch your personal essay

Dreamers & Doers' founder, Gesche Haas, was recently published on TODAY.com for her personal personal essay Why I take at least 1 night off parenting every week, which also featured brilliant quotes by two fellow D&D members!

We're SO THRILLED to share the opportunity for YOU to pitch your own story! 📣

This is an exclusive chance to pitch a high-profile publication and get in front of a major national audience! 🙌🏽

Note: This opportunity offers direct, exclusive access to a major outlet, but keep in mind it’s a HIGHLY SELECTIVE process (as opposed to our #PRHypeMachineExclusive opps, where you have a VERY HIGH chance of getting featured!). That said, the more compelling and unique your pitch, the higher your chances of being selected! 💫

What you need to know . . .

Once a month, we'll be collecting Dreamers & Doers members’ pitches and submitting them to the essays editor at TODAY, who will fast-track her review of them.

📝 TODAY.com is interested in first-person essays on:

• Parenting

• Health

• Weddings/marriage

• Other lifestyle topics

❌ Please avoid hard news, politics, or anything overly heavy—although there are always exceptions for truly compelling stories.

✨ What makes a great personal essay? The key is authenticity. TODAY loves essays that offer a fresh, personal perspective yet are relevant to a broad audience. Whether you're sharing a personal breakthrough, a life-changing decision, or an unconventional approach to life, these stories should connect with readers in an authentic, relatable way.

💥 Special Bonus: If your pitch is accepted, you’ll not only get to work with the editorial team at TODAY but also with our Head of Content, Adrian, to make sure your essay is absolutely top-notch. Trust us, this is a HUGE perk; Adrian’s editorial magic can take your piece from great to extraordinary!

➡️ Pitch your TODAY personal essay idea(s) via this Google form.

⏰ This is an ongoing opportunity, so feel free to submit a pitch anytime you have a new idea.

Here’s to getting your incredible stories out into the world. 🌍 We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
