Write personalized pitch emails to journalists, podcasters, newsletter writers, and analysts using AIDA adapted for media pitching and Ryan Holiday's journalist psychology from "Trust Me I'm Lying." Different from press releases (use /press-release-writer for those).

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# pr-pitch-writer

Writes pitch emails that journalists actually read. Different from press releases: pitches are personal, short, and earn the click. Built on AIDA adapted for media pitching and Ryan Holiday's journalist psychology.

## Frameworks

### AIDA adapted for media pitching

**ATTENTION (subject line)**: Journalists get 500+ pitches per week. The subject line is a headline, not a description. It must earn the open in a crowded inbox.

**INTEREST (first sentence)**: Why does this story matter to THIS journalist's readers? Not to you - to them. The first sentence is about the audience, not the sender.

**DESIRE (the angle / news peg)**: What makes this story surprising, timely, or uniquely valuable? The "news peg" - what it attaches to in the current conversation.

**ACTION (the ask)**: What you want them to do. Specific and easy. "Reply to this email if you'd like the data" beats "let me know if you're interested."

### Ryan Holiday's journalist psychology - "Trust Me I'm Lying"

1. **Traffic over truth**: Journalists need stories that get clicks for their audience. Ask: what would make their readers share this?

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add qa-aman/claude-skills/pr-pitch-writer@sha256:3cd85569b20c2720

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260808.7dfb5c7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
