I hear many of my freelance colleagues complaining about how 10 out of the 10 story pitches they sent out "that morning" got rejected by various news networks and media outlets.

1) Write a thorough treatment document (make it look good, also - see attachment bellow)

2) When possible, make a video pitch.
