AN OPEN COVER LETTER FOR PROSPECTIVE MEDIA EMPLOYERS
Hi and thanks for your interest! Below is a memo of introduction I first sent to a national lifestyle magazine that was recruiting, at least in theory, for a features director role in New York. Uploaded to an alleged career portal in December 2025 and lightly adjusted here for our purposes, this is the most recent media cover letter in my sprawling, radioactive personal archive. It is also, per vocational efficiency standards enacted in 2026, my last.
Wondering if you and I might work well together editorially? Flattered. Love that. Anything is possible! Simply sub in your outlet’s name and other details where indicated to see how your information mingles with the surrounding pontifications. And don’t despair if we’re not a fit. I’d be happy to keep your information on file should anyone’s needs change. Best of luck with your search!
