By their very nature, such templates tend to be specific to individual publications. For example, the general shape of a recipe is universal and well known, but the details like whether to include a picture or a wine match, or substitutes for key ingredients, or a list of nutritional values, are specific to individual publications and to their business model and the market they serve.

Non-fiction should almost always be written for a specific publication. You don't write the piece and then try to sell it. You sell the idea of the piece and then follow the publication's guidelines for how to write it.
