Write to me, in your own time.
I read everything.
I respond when I can.
The longer the email, the longer the wait. A fair trade.
One message, one reply.
Or by another route.

For longer notes, drafts you would like a second pair of eyes on, or anything that does not fit in a form field.

I keep a small post box for actual mail. Slow to reply, but I keep every letter that arrives.

The only social space I keep. Mostly for sharing essays and the occasional reading list. Replies in DMs are slower than email.

The questions I get asked.
-
01Will you read my essay or draft?
Sometimes. If we have corresponded before, or if you are a paying subscriber, almost always. If we are strangers and you are sending unsolicited drafts, please know I am slower with those, and I cannot promise feedback. But I will read it.
-
02Are you available for guest essays or interviews?
Yes, occasionally. I prefer publications I already read. Use the form above with subject Press or speaking inquiry, and I will respond within two weeks if it is a fit.
-
03Can I suggest a podcast guest?
Please. I am always taking suggestions. Tell me their name, what they have written, and why you think the conversation would be interesting. I cannot reply to every suggestion but I read them all.
-
04How long until I hear back?
Usually within a week. Sometimes three. Once, I let an email sit for four months before replying because I needed that long to figure out what to say. I am sorry in advance, and grateful in advance for your patience.
