I do my best to consider every well-thought out pitch I receive, but please realize that I get a metric ton of email + messages + recommendations + friend requests etc. Don’t be offended if I am unable to respond.
The easier you make it for me to write a blog post about you or your clients, the more likely I will be to post. Things I strongly encourage your PR to include are:
- A great, personal story for Letters to YVYNYL
- Streamable music is best sent by SoundCloud or Bandcamp
- An offer to exclusively premiere new, unreleased songs or videos - this will probably get you stronger consideration for posting, and I will try to decline if I can’t do it so you can try other publications
- Your favorite images that are 1000px wide or bigger
- A sweet new video, with preference given to finely-crafted original visual work
- Notable news, pertinent information, release date, label
- Tour dates in PHILADELPHIA, I don’t publish entire tour schedules
- If you send me full albums for preview, please include specific instructions on which tracks are shareable otherwise I will consider any and all tracks shareable
Thank you, and godspeed!
