March Newsletter

Hola desde Puerto Vallarta! I’ve just returned from a whirlwind week in the U.S. to three separate cities (which meant seven flights in a week, yikes!). More on my travels in the last section of the newsletter!

Thank you for subscribing to my monthly newsletter that highlights my recently published articles, upcoming calls for sources, and a peek into my travels. If you want to support my work, tips are appreciated via Venmo,  CashApp, and PayPal. Alternatively, you can subscribe to the paid version of this newsletter for $9.99 a month. You can also buy me a tea here as a token of appreciation.

If you’d like to work with me, I offer consultations where I workshop pitches and allow writers to pick my brain about the industry: LolaAnnMendez.com/Consultation

In March, I wrote four articles. One was a pitch an editor commissioned and three were assignments. I sent 78 pitches this month—six were commissioned, four are being considered, 33 were rejected, and 35 are pending a response.

My portfolio can be viewed at any time at LolaAnnMendez.com. In March, I had two articles published. I have upcoming pieces in new-to-me publications including Vogue, Roadtrippers, Jet Setter, and Vegan Society.

I always post my calls for sources on Twitter.com/LolaAnnaMendez. Newsletter subscribers are privy to the first look at my current work. PR folks (and individuals when relevant) are welcome to send pitches for the stories on which I’m currently working. I’m currently working on three stories but am not in the need for sources.

I spent most of March in Mexico as my mom was in town visiting me in Puerto Vallarta for the first time. After getting invited in person at IMM to go to Napa Valley with Southern Australia I got to go to Northern California for the first time in my life despite that I was born in San Diego and went to college in Los Angeles. It was a one-day trip but I added personal trips to see my cousin in Los Angeles before and a quick trip to Florida after.

Mid-April I’m heading back to Napa for a wellness retreat before visiting my  82nd country. Any guesses where it might be? Hint: it has islands! I’ll tell you about it next month and you can follow my adventures on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
