Dear Doug Weber,
My name is Hans Wanyonyi, and I am interested in contributing freelance articles to Westport Journal.
I came across your listing on WritersWeekly and noticed that you are looking for general-interest reporting, store openings, and municipal affairs coverage focused on Westport.
I would be interested in learning more about your current editorial needs, submission guidelines, and whether you are open to working with a new freelance writer.
Could you please let me know if there are any specific stories or reporting assignments currently available? I would also appreciate information about your preferred pitching process.
Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
