PITCH CALL-OUT

I'm commissioning specifically for Metro.co.uk's 'So, How Did It Go?' dating series, and I want your pitches!

Lots of examples of previous SHDIG pieces here: metro.co.uk/tag/so-how-did-it-go – but some pointers too:

• These don't necessarily need to be first date stories. Lots are, but we mainly want to hear unique stories about any dates.
• They also don't need to be dating 'horror stories'! Again, lots are (and we do love those shocking, jaw-dropping pieces), but we love the heartwarming pieces too.
• They don't need to be recent (i.e. you don't need to be single/actively dating in order to contribute to the series); they can be decades-old! We just ask that you include lots of detail, emotion and anecdotes (we LOVE anecdotes!).
• Some of these pieces can be anonymous, but this will always need to be discussed prior to commissioning.

Fee paid; can share more details over email.

If you have a one-of-a-kind date story, please email [click apply] with the subject line: 'SHDIG PITCH: [Headline of your choice – the spicier, the better!]'. And please share this post far and wide – I'd love to get as wide a range of stories as possible. Thank you!
