I was hoping you would after hearing you discuss it in the webinar with Jake. Webinar was great, by the way! I learned some really useful things for giving my editing business a boost. Thanks again to you and Jake, and I look forward to the next one!

Editorially Yours,

Larissa

You taught me about the LOI, I get to return the favor with a new way to use them. It's a win-win!

Cathy, I like your approach, too. It's a great way to get their attention — who doesn't love hearing something about themselves (in a good way)?

I use a similar approach. I open with something I read or found out about the company (an award they won, something about their products or services, etc.). Then, I share a brief bit about me and close sometimes with a CTA similar to yours and others with an open-ended question – e.g., Would you like to connect?

But I've never (yet) used them to offer things other than my services in writing feature stories. You've given me a whole new way to view LOIs. Thanks!
