How To Get This Client

Keep your pitch simple and your story polished. Intrepid Times respects writers who come correct—clean structure, sharp scenes, and a real narrative arc. Don’t send “travel tips”; send a story. If you can cover a country they haven’t published yet, your chances triple.

A winning submission will:

Open with a vivid scene
Reveal a personal shift or realization
Tie your experience to something bigger than yourself
Deliver clean, edited prose (they reject messy drafts fast)

If you’re not in the agency yet… You’re Wasting Time

Most Kenyan writers lose international clients because their storytelling, structure, or pitching isn’t at a professional level.
