Ways to reach us
- Contact form (below): the only channel at the moment, for every kind of enquiry.
- Corrections: choose “Report an error” and include the page address; corrections are made on the page itself.
- Writers: read the write for us guidelines first, then choose “Pitch an article”.
- Privacy requests: choose “Privacy request”; the privacy policy explains what is held and what you can ask for.
A public email address and social accounts will be listed here once the owner confirms them. Until then the form is the reliable route; it does not require an account and works without JavaScript.
What happens next
Your message is saved on this site’s own server in a directory outside the web root, readable only by the site’s process, together with a hashed (not raw) form of your connection address that is used to limit repeat submissions. It is not sent to any third-party service. Replies go to the email address you entered. Expect an answer within a few days for corrections and pitches; there is no fixed service level.
The form is protected by a hidden field that automated tools tend to fill, a minimum completion time, a signed token that expires, and a limit of five messages per hour from one connection. If a genuine message is refused, wait a few minutes and try again.
