Write a cold message asking for mentorship.
WHO I'M MESSAGING: {their_role_and_background}
HOW I FOUND THEM: {specific_writing_talk_or_project}
WHAT I'M WORKING ON: {your_current_challenge}
WHAT I CAN OFFER (be honest, even if 'nothing yet'): {your_offer_or_none}
DRAFT:
- Subject line: 5-7 words, specific, NOT 'asking for advice'
- Body (80-100 words):
- First sentence: a specific reference to their work that proves I paid attention
- One sentence on what I'm trying to figure out (not 'pick your brain')
- The smallest possible ask — ideally async (one 3-sentence reply > 30-min call)
- One sentence offering to send them my answer once I figure it out (real reciprocity)
- Sign-off with first name only
Also: the follow-up message I should send if they haven't replied in 2 weeks (50 words, low-pressure, doesn't guilt-trip).0 copies·0 saves·2 views
