Hi [name],
Hope you're well?
I'm getting in touch to see if you ever accept content from guest authors on your blog?
I've written a variety of posts similar to those featured on [domain] and I wondered if you'd be interested in seeing any drafts?
Let me know if you're interested; I'm more than happy to send some examples over.
All the best,
