At StoryAmp we know that zillions of musicians and sources are slamming your inbox every day, and that half of them aren't even a genre or city that you cover. What if every music pitch showed up in the same format every time making it easy to quickly decide if it was a fit for you? What if you always knew that you could get what you needed with a single click? What if all the music pitches you received showed up in a single digest every day? That's the power of StoryAmp.
With StoryAmp's filtering tools you control the genres and concert cities you want to hear about. You can even unsubscribe from an individual artists future pitches. It's like Amazon or Netflix recommendations but specifically for pre-released material or in advance of concerts, according to your lead times.
StoryAmp provides valuable tools to make it easier to find and prioritize story ideas. Your Queue stores pitches you've received that you want to listen to and explore further. You can add those pitches to a Shortlist of the top ten stories you are considering. We provide you with a URL that you can give to artists, labels, or publicists to direct a specific pitch to your Submitted box. No more email clutter.
StoryAmps note-taking journal and feedback system allows you to keep track of your last contact with an artist about a story idea. With a few clicks, you can request more information, concert tickets, an album, or an interview. You can provide artists with feedback just as easily, without revealing your identity or contact info. Only you can see your private notes.
