- Course
- 43 Lessons
ACE (A Course on Editorials) is an in-depth guide to organizing editorials and getting them published through a fashion publication context in the modern world. ACE covers all fashion editorial-related topics from beginning to end, including concept development, pitch PDF creation, pitch emails, finding the right publication contacts, and case studies of my previously published work.
What's new this August Round?
This edition introduces a brand-new section: The Editorial Landscape (Part VII), where I share insider insights on publication politics, understanding publication tiers, and strategic publishing case studies. Plus, I’m including an exclusive, in-depth case study on how I landed and executed an editorial for WWD — a major milestone in my career and a blueprint for photographers aiming for top-tier publications.
