Hi (Editor name),
(Catching percentage/statistic related to the article topic). Wanted to run a story idea by you, as I’m (specific reason you’re qualified to write about the topic).
I have been featured in (places you’ve previously been published or places you’ve been interviewed, preferably with links to the pieces). As you frequently feature stories on (the topic you’re writing about), I thought you might be interested in chatting. I’m working to (why you write about what you write about… be passionate here!). My one sheet and speaker reel are attached (if you don’t have one, click here for an example).
