Dear prospective editor/video producer: I would be honored if your publication would consider my article for publication. If you're a video outlet, I would be honored if you covered this article. I'm available for interviews if you wish (Google Gemini's idea!).
Here are some preview materials that should help understand how this piece might be relevant to your publication's readership. My pitch document discusses style, content and suitability, and my covering letter provides some meta-context about timeliness.
Thank you for stopping by this "showroom page". Please contact me by email from your work email, via LinkedIn, or by old-school text message (4zero8-48zero-4twotwo4) from a US mobile number. I will then unlock the editors-only area of this web site for you: all the links on this page will work in the editors' area.

1. Article: html, pdf, markdown
2. Covering letter: html, pdf, markdown
3. Writing style and venue suitability: html, pdf, markdown
4. Single-file PDF containing the above three documents: pdf
5. LLM prompt snapshots: example. See files below with promptEvolution in their names. Refer to the covering letter for my process.
6. 😎 Preview of running the LLM analysis prompt included at the end of the article: To see what readers can expect to see, please refer to files below with analyzeThis in their names (e.g, ibmapple,analyzeThis,1.html). As detailed in the covering letter, your readers can simply paste the entire article (ibmapple,article.md) into an LLM and hit Enter to explore further. The default analysis prompt prompts the LLM to double-check the article's points in an unbiased manner. However, obviously that is just the start. Readers can tweak the prompt to continue on their learning journey. For instance, some readers may find it hard to believe that Apple cleared $1 billion in the early 1980s. Some even more advanced readers can even type over the article with their own arguments and see what an LLM analysis says. I look forward to reading insightful responses.
