“How do I contact you?”
I’ve been getting this question a lot over the last few weeks. I realize it can be daunting. There aren’t many places I don’t have a social media account. I keep an updated page listing all of my accounts and it is always growing. However, I tend to favor some more than the others. To combat that, I figured I’d write up a list focusing on my priorities when it comes to communication. After all, some places are better than the others. So, if you want to contact me, here’s where to start:
- Email
I check my email daily, and I try to respond to everyone promptly. With other forms of communication, I don’t have notifications turned on. Email is the one exception. - Blog
This is where I share the most information. I also make sure to approve all legitimate comments and I try to respond to any direct questions. - Twitter
This is my primary social media platform. As “they” say: my DMs are open. - Goodreads
Yo, it’s Goodreads. I like talking about books, so I hang out there. Ask me a question. - Instagram
I’m not as active on Instagram as, Kari-Lise (nor as popular.) But I do occasionally post, and I try to respond to comments. - Facebook
Honestly, I hate this site so much. But it’s a necessary evil. So I am there, begrudgingly but rarely. Because of that reason, it can take me a few days to respond to messages, but I will eventually get around to them. - Snail Mail
I check my P.O. box once or twice a month. While I’m happy to mail you free swag, I don’t take the time to send a letter for every one I receive. I’m sorry. The address is on my Contact Page. - Pinterest/Tumblr/Snapchat/Periscope/Etc.
These are tools for me. Not useful forms of communication. - LinkedIn
LOL
This list is subject to change, and should that happen I will make another post. For those trying to get ahold of me, I hope this helps. Thanks to those who are reaching out. Writing can be a lonely profession, and it’s always encouraging to get a message from a reader. Y’all rule.
