Hello, Mr. or Ms. Publicist -

You’re here because you have something you’d like me to blog about and you want my email address. Can you please read this page first? I’d like us to start our relationship on a solid footing.

I’m happy to find a way to help you promote your thing, as long as you’re willing to give me something in exchange.

That doesn’t have to be money! (Though money is dandy and we both know it.) We might trade ad space. We might trade some social media promotion. We might trade some of your product for a post on my blog. There are plenty of opportunities available to us.

All I ask is that, when you come to me with your pitch, you also bring some ideas for how we could do a mutually-beneficial exchange.

(And incidentally, I never read form emails or press releases sent to me with no personal note.)

All that said, my email address is craftypod at deepideas dot com. So let’s talk.
