Julia Métraux @metraux_julia [Narratively] Still looking for pitches for this (and will be until April 8th!) Some notes that can help with your pitch. 1. Let me know what sources (books, archives, historians etc) that you plan on using. I will ask you this anyway if I consider your pitch further. 2. Hidden History pieces have to do with something in history, so not someone who is making history *right now* (so, in the 80s at the latest but BCE is also great!). To see what I am looking for, really recommend looking at the examples that I provided. If you have a pitch that doesn't fit my description, you can always submit through our Submittable: https://narratively.submittable.com/submit
