Not everything goes according to plan. Like this James Bond pitch. It started out as a reasonable pitch; it even made sense, what with the new James Bond movie, Skyfall, coming out. But then I went bonkers.
I might not have gotten an assignment out of it, but I did manage to get the pitch published!
Here is a sample:
My Mysteriously Rejected Yet Obviously Awesome Travel Pitch To The Editors Of Prevention Magazine
Dear Lifestyle Editor,
For this article, I will drive through Europe in a nice car and pretend to be James Bond. My editorial goal is to help readers get inside the fantasy that we all grew up with. For one week, I would stay in nice hotels, drive fast cars, bed beautiful women, gamble, and, if possible, disarm someone in hand-to-hand combat.
You can read the rest of it at The Humor Columnist. An excellent place to kill some time, and they clearly have good taste.
