Pitch Fast Company & get a fast-track editor review!

We’re excited to offer you an exclusive opportunity to pitch an article idea for Fast Company’s Work Life section. 🎉

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 (unlike our #PRHypeMachine #ExclusiveMediaPlacement opportunities—our signature offering crafted by our in-house editorial team—which offer a close-to-guaranteed chance of getting featured). That said, the more compelling and unique your pitch, the higher your chances of being selected! 💫

Some topics Fast Company might be interested in:

• Your experiences specific to being a woman founder/leader

• Unique leadership experiences and lessons

• Strategies for building inclusive workplaces or tackling gender equity

• Fresh approaches to work-life balance that go beyond the usual advice

• Behind-the-scenes challenges of entrepreneurship or strategies that have helped you grow your business

• Leadership advice articles that share your POV on an area of expertise

• And more! They are open to a wide range of ideas.

Pro tips: When you pitch, think authenticity, specificity, and innovative/outside of the box. What’s a story that only YOU can tell? Fast Company loves articles that blend personal experiences with advice or solutions that can inspire their readers. On the flip side, what will prevent your ideas from getting published are over-the-top self-promotion (of yourself or your company), dense jargon and abstract, blanket assertions.

Examples of this type of article:

• How your workplace can support ‘millenopause’ Menopause

• Follow this 3-step framework to make real progress in your DEI goals 

• We need to talk about the emotional weight of work

• Use this extremely simple ‘wish list’ framework to build the life you want 

• I got 82 rejections to fund my business, here’s what I learned

➡️ Pitch your Fast Company article idea(s) via this Google form.

⏰ This is an ongoing opportunity, feel free to submit a pitch anytime (including new ideas you come up with). We will be submitting pitches roughly monthly.

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