Pitch checker.

What it does. Ten rule-based checks — the ones a commissioning editor runs in the first ten seconds: length, sentence load, evidence of clips, the clear ask, filler, passive constructions, exclamation discipline — applied to your pasted pitch, each verdict with a one-line fix.

How to use it. Paste your pitch, add the subject line and the publication's name, and press check. Green passes, amber is a note, red means fix before sending. Adjust, re-check, send.

Why it matters. Most pitches die on rules no editor states: too long, no clips, no ask, a hedged voice. The guide to how to write a pitch teaches the structure; this tool is the ten-second edit before you hit send. It is deliberately rule-based rather than generative — no AI writes for you, because a pitch must be in your voice and because publications increasingly reject machine-written submissions.

Your data. The tool runs entirely in your browser - text you paste never leaves the page, and nothing is uploaded to a server.

Where this fits

Working-writer tools guard the commercial side of the craft: the rate, the invoice, the deadline, the agreement. The writing only pays if the paperwork holds, and these do the arithmetic and the tracking that busy weeks push aside - the ten minutes here that protect the invoice are never wasted.
