I haven’t had a chance to read through all the included templates, but I love the “How we can help each other” one. I really struggle with asking for reviews/testimonials and this will be so helpful. Also, I’ve known I need something to send to explain my process. I’m excited to work with a few of these over the weekend. One thought: I had been working pretty regularly with a publisher and then, nothing. I wanted to contact them to see if they were still interested in sending me work but wasn’t entirely sure how to go about it. Not sure how much that comes up for others, but a template for “Hi, I’m still here and happy to do work for you.” would be helpful. Happy ending: I did email and am now doing work for them again.

Glad you found that helpful! Also happy to hear you are doing work for them again.
I haven’t ever worked for a publisher, but I do periodically reach out to authors who I know plan on writing more than one book.
I usually say something like “I enjoyed working on your first book and am wondering if you have any more books in the works. I currently have openings around this time. If you have any immediate future plans for a book, let me know, as I would love to prioritize your book.”
With a publisher, I imagine you could say something like “I am just reaching out to see if you have any work for me within the next month as I currently have some openings.”
That way, you are reminding them of your services and expressing an interest in doing more work for them without seeming desperate or demanding.
