Hello Editor,

The first paragraph is the strong lead-in paragraph. This is where you will capture the attention of the editor by providing an overview of your story. Just as with any other lead you have learned to write, you should be sure it is relevant and that important information is highlighted here so that it will peak the interest of the editor and prompt him or her to continue reading. Here is where you will try to connect with the editor on an emotional or inspirational level.

The second paragraph is the supporting paragraph or the place where you will discuss the unique selling points of the story. Types of unique selling points may include factual highlights or how this story will be different from all others that have been written on the subject. Including information such as this will demonstrate to the editor that you have researched the topic.

In the third paragraph, you will explain why your story fits into the editor’s publication. Editors want to know that you understand the type of publication they run and that you are able to gauge the interests of their readers.

The fourth paragraph is where you will explain why you are interested in this topic and highlight any experience that you have in the area. This is where you establish your credibility with the editor. This is the place where you can highlight published articles. If you do not have work that has been published by others, simply highlight your interest in the topic. You may present self-published work if it is part of a blog or website that you have created.

The fifth and final portion of the email is where you conclude by thanking the editor for his or her time and noting that you look forward to hearing from him or her.

Sincerely,

Your Full Name
