How to Get the Most out of your Media List Purchase

With over 1,500 market editors, freelancers, features editors, and more in categories including home, fashion, food, travel and lifestyle, the Recipe for Press Media List is unlike any other. Meticulously curated and with updates accessible in real time, this pitch accessory is the tool you need to help make finding the right editors to pitch easy! Pro tip: add the Media List link to your bookmark, favorites or shortcuts in your browser toolbar for easy and frequent access.

What makes our media list different?

  • The “notes” section for each contact: Not only have we lovingly fact-checked each contact’s accuracy, we’ve included submission guidelines, specific instructions on how an editor would like to be pitched, a portfolio link, information on where the editor worked previously, even the number of issues the magazine is published a year. By building relationships with editors, our list contains these extra bits of information to give you as much support in crafting your pitch as possible.
  •  Editors move and often. We actively track them.  One byproduct of Covid is the shift of so many major editors to active freelancers. These hard-to-find contacts are some of the most valuable, as these editors and writers often contribute to multiple publications in many genres. 
  • We get social: Besides providing their contacts, we also provide a social media link for each (we also use this as a second way to verify their information). This is a great way for you to get to know the editors, as they use Instagram to look for new products and designers. 
  • It’s affordable: still priced at only $150, our list is a deal. Other lists cost thousands of dollars and overwhelm with thousands of names that are often outdated and unhelpful because they are listing every editor at the magazine and not the ones specific to the sections open to pitching. 
  • It’s easy to filter: You can now search by category (home, fashion, beauty, style, food, etc) and by region, by editor and publication name. 
  • Publicists in major metropolitan areas where editors are clustered not only buy our list but help to keep it relevant by sharing boots-on-the-ground info. 
  • We share a monthly Pitch Tip newsletter with real-time reminders and updates to help you keep pitching top-of-mind.

And finally, if we haven’t listed a publication that you’d like to see, all you have to do is ask and our team will fetch for you. Simply email akh@amyflurry with your own observations and request.
