# 054: Have your conservation photography stories been rejected (or ignored) by editors time and time again, but you have no idea where you are going wrong?\\xa0

Plenty of pitfalls can come up in the process of pitching your conservation photography story to publications. Being aware of them is the difference between getting a yes from an editor\\u2026 or being completely ignored.

I\\u2019ve spent years working as an editor, which involved having to sift through tons of pitches. So I have a fairly good idea of what the most frequent mistakes are. And, if you\\u2019ve ever listened to other editors, they will point out the same ones that I will walk you through today.

Fortunately, you can avoid these pitfalls altogether by taking the right steps early on in the story creation process so that, once you get to the pitching part, it's smooth sailing.
