How to Get Your Pitch Accepted with Vanessa Dewson

Today on the podcast, we're joined by Vanessa Dewson, a Canadian photographer, passionate traveler, and our very own Genus Womxn community member. She began teaching photography at the Ottawa School of Art in 2013. In 2015, she founded Focus on Photography Tours to combine her passions of photography, teaching and travel. She is now pursuing writing to be able to share the stories she has collected along the way. We're very lucky to have Vanessa as part of our community. Her drive, compassion and support of our members has been incredible to witness. In today's episode, we'll dig into the process of getting your stories out there into the world. Since taking our class and joining our membership, Vanessa has been on a roll with stories published in places like Shondaland, Intrepid Magazine and more. I had so much fun speaking to Vanessa. She shares a lot of the fears and hesitations many of us face on this path, but she also shares her incredible accomplishments since she made a decision to act and perpure her creative purpose. I hope you enjoy this episode.
