Every designer should have this database. I just purchased your media list and wish I had done it sooner. I wasted so much time reaching out to the wrong people and this list is incredibly detailed, thoughtful and comprehensive.
Claire Stasick, Centered by Design –
Save yourself a lot of time and purchase THIS list. Keeping an up-to-date media list is not easy, and editors can change quickly in the online landscape.

We just landed our first piece in a national publication all thanks to the Media List! I’m so grateful for Amy Flurry & Team for creating such an incredible resource.

Congratulations for spearheading a business that many of us solo entrepreneurs need! I used to work for agencies and I know they spent thousands on media intelligence software. The Recipe for Press Media list makes it possible for independents to be more strategic and successful (and save time!) in our media outreach. I will be sure to refer you to my colleagues.

Wow this list is a total life-saver AND a game changer. Not only is it helpful for finding the right point of contact at the right publication, but there’s also great insider knowledge in the Notes section with commentary around recent career movement, special rules to follow (if any), and sometimes the editorial calendar for the year. The list is worth every penny.
