Generate guest post pitch emails
River's Guest Post Pitch Email Generator creates 10 personalized pitch emails based on your expertise. You describe your topics and background, and the AI writes 10 complete pitch emails you can send to different publications. Each pitch proposes a specific angle and demonstrates your expertise. Whether you're building backlinks through guest posts, establishing thought leadership, or freelance blogging for income, you get ready-to-send pitches that just need publication names added.
Unlike generic templates that require heavy rewriting, we create diverse pitches with different angles on your expertise. The AI understands pitch email structure (hook with specific angle, brief credentials, why it fits their audience, clear deliverable), varies the approaches so you're not pitching the same idea 10 times, and writes in a professional but personable tone. You get 10 unique pitches ready to customize with specific publication names and send.
This tool is perfect for freelance bloggers pitching guest posts regularly, content marketers building backlinks at scale, and thought leaders seeking publication placements. If you spend hours crafting individual pitches or reuse the same template until it stops working, this tool helps. Use it when you want to pitch multiple publications quickly with strong, varied angles.
What Makes Guest Post Pitches Get Accepted
Guest post pitches get accepted when they propose specific, valuable ideas that fit the publication's audience. Editors want pitches that show you understand their readers and can deliver content their audience hasn't seen before. Weak pitches are vague (I'd like to write about marketing for you) or generic (send topics the publication already covers regularly). Strong pitches propose one specific angle with a clear unique value (Here's how remote companies maintain culture: 5 tactics from companies that never had offices, with data from 30 distributed teams).
The best pitches follow a tight structure. Subject line includes the proposed angle (Guest post idea: How remote teams maintain culture without offices). Opening sentence proposes the specific idea clearly. Next 1 to 2 sentences establish your credibility (why you can write this). Explain briefly why it fits their audience and hasn't been covered this way. Offer to send an outline or draft. Keep total length under 150 words. Editors are busy and need to assess your pitch in 30 seconds. Concise and specific beats long and detailed.
To improve acceptance rates, study the publication first. Read 10 recent posts to see what they cover, what tone they use, and what's missing. Pitch angles they haven't covered yet, not variations on recent posts. Personalize each pitch (reference a recent article you liked or a gap you noticed). Follow submission guidelines if they have them. Some publications want outlines, others want full drafts. Apply to multiple publications simultaneously. Guest post pitching is a numbers game. Ten pitches might get 2 to 3 acceptances, which is normal and good.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I send the same pitch to multiple publications?
Send each pitch to only one publication at a time. If a publication accepts, that angle is theirs exclusively. You can pitch similar topics to different publications using the different angles provided, but never send identical pitches simultaneously. If a pitch gets rejected or ignored after 2 weeks, you can repitch that angle elsewhere. The 10 pitches give you variety so you can approach multiple publications with different ideas.
Do I need to add publication names before sending?
Yes, absolutely. The pitches are templates you must personalize. Add the publication name, editor name (research this), and ideally one sentence referencing a recent post or explaining why you chose them. These personalizations take 2 minutes per pitch but dramatically improve acceptance rates. Editors instantly spot and delete pitches that are clearly mass-mailed without personalization.
What if all 10 pitches are too similar?
The AI creates varied angles, but if your expertise is narrow, some overlap may occur. Use the pitches that feel most different from each other. You can also run the generator multiple times with slightly different expertise descriptions to get more variety. Focus on your 5 to 7 best pitches rather than forcing all 10 if some feel repetitive.
Should I send all 10 pitches at once?
Spread them out. Send 3 to 5 per week so you can manage responses and deadlines if multiple publications accept. Getting 3 acceptances simultaneously when you can only write one post per week creates problems. Steady pitching also helps you refine your approach based on what gets responses. Track which angles work best and double down on those types of pitches.
What's a good acceptance rate for guest post pitches?
20% to 30% is solid for cold pitches to publications you haven't written for before. If you're getting lower rates, improve your targeting (pitch more relevant publications), make angles more specific, or strengthen your credentials section. Higher rates come from pitching publications you've built relationships with or that actively seek contributors. Don't get discouraged by rejections or silence. Volume and quality together drive results.
