Guest post pitch examples that get replies
What a good guest post pitch includes, with short example emails you can adapt — or generate one with our free outreach writer.
What editors want
Proof you read the site, a specific topic idea that fits their audience, and a reason you are qualified to write it. Keep it short.
Example: the specific idea
Subject: Idea for [Site] — [specific headline]
Hi [Name], I enjoyed your piece on [recent post]. One angle you haven't covered yet is [idea] — I'd outline [3 points]. I run [role/company] and have [credential]. Happy to send a draft. — [You]
Example: the follow-up
Hi [Name], just bumping this in case it got buried. If [idea] isn't a fit, I'd also be glad to write about [alternative]. Thanks!
