Virtual AMA Panelists for Valentine Gift Guide Prep - Aly Walansky

You're invited! Live Virtual AMA Webinar Event Thursday, December 18: It's time to prepare for Valentine's Day gift guide season! The purpose of this live AMA workshop event is ostensibly to prepare all for Valentine’s Day gift guide season prepping and pitching (and yes the time has indeed come, I’m already sourcing, in fact!) but also will be a way of informally honoring our community and touching base before we all head off for the holiday season. We’ll be holding this live AMA webinar event in just a few days! On Thursday, December 18 at 10 am PT/1 pm ET (or as we call it in these parts, my birthday-eve), we’d love for you to join us: We just ask that you are a paid subscriber to either my or Alice’s Substack to attend (though if we have space left we will 100% open it up to everyone else, our main goal here is to help and support as many people as possible!). *And no worries if you can’t make it in person. The recording will be available to all paid subscribers for the rest of the pitching season.* Come armed with your questions about pitching, trends we’re seeing, mailers, follow ups, and so much more - and while the focus is Valentine’s Day gift guides, if you have other questions, those are welcome as well! Please RSVP at the signup sheet below the paywall and we’ll get a Zoom link out to you with your confirmation very soon!... Subscribe to Aly Walansky's Newsletter to unlock the rest.
