Pitches

Write out three "pitches" for three different Ampersand articles that you might write for this year's publication.

1. The format that works for me is always the story format. Essays bore me, speeches anger me, and discussions make me feel obligated to interrupt and respond. If I wrote a story about my experiences, I just feel like I would engage more people in my article.

2. Maybe it could be done as a script? Like a script for a show? I feel like that would be an interesting turn for our writing.

3. What about a comic book form? I recall reading a very well written book in Diana's class called The Complete Persepolis. The life story of an Iranian woman from childhood to her present life. The entire book was done in a comic book form, and I think we might be able to do something similar.
