Why Can’t I Find Your Email Addy?
I do not understand why so many writers have websites and/or blogs, but do not have their email address or a “contact me” link easily visible.
It’s a frequent source of frustration for me. Why would you even bother putting yourself out there without giving people a way to contact you?
There are two circumstances in which I come up against this:
(1) I’m following links to various websites/blogs, find something I like and become interested in talking to the writer about whether they’d ever like to be published, whether they have an agent, etc… and there’s no email address. I’m supposed to leave a comment on your blog? Not exactly professional.
(2) I want to respond privately to a comment someone has left on my blog, rather than put it out there for all the world to see. I’m interested in engaging in conversation. Yet when I follow the link to their blog or website, again, no way to contact them.
Listen, there’s a lot of dialogue going on out here on the web, and real connections are being made. If you don’t include a way for people to contact you directly, it says you’re not interested in making connections. Maybe you’re just interested in being heard but not interested in hearing from others. It doesn’t look good.
You’re here to network, to learn, to communicate, and to create relationships. It’s not just about putting your blog or website up and commenting on others’ blogs. Let people know how to reach you, too. Just in case.
And by the way, the excuse that you want to avoid spambots getting your email address is so five years ago. You can encrypt or obscure your email address so that people can see it but spambots can’t. If you want, you can also create a separate gmail or yahoo address for public use. It’s free and takes 30 seconds.
So, if you have a website or blog, and if you’re leaving comments on others’ blogs, make sure you have your email address or “contact me” plainly visible.
Q4U: If you’re one of those without contact info on your site – why not? Are you going to add it today?

Evеn fοr pеople who don’t change their hair color, these lenses give them a chance to have beautiful eyes. The hair may look great, but the eye color is uninspiring. Now, the eyes can enhance the whole appearance. . People have worn eyeglasses for centuries to correct their vision or help them to see clearly, but one inconvenience is that they need to take extra care of the pair as it is easy to break. And the invention of contact lens helps people a lot in this. Contact lens covers the cornea of the eye and fits into the curvature of cornea, so that the probability of breakage and irritation is reduced. . Non prescription color contacts are perfectly safe to wear if you do it the right way. Just remember to take these precautions. To some eyes contacts of any kind do cause irritation. Sometimes it just takes time to get use to them. You can get your contacts in a variety of colors and they even have ones with crazy effects for Halloween and costuming. .

with the structure in your blog. Is that this a paid subject matter or did you modify it yourself?
Either way stay up the nice quality writing, it is rare to look a great blog like

Great article! I loved the insight and advice given. Further, your writing style is very pleasing to read. If you have time kindly take a look at my new blog and let me know what you think.
Appreciate you posting this! It was a real eye-opener.
I think that everything said was actually very reasonable. However, what about this? suppose you wrote a catchier title? I am not saying your content isn’t good, however suppose you added something that makes people desire more? I mean Why Can’t I Find Your Email Addy? | Rachelle Gardner is kinda boring. You should look at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create news titles to grab people to open the links. You might add a video or a related pic or two to grab readers interested about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it would make your posts a little livelier.

As the incredible tiny system genuinely does possess programs regarding “just concerning every little thing,Inch Apple’s occasionally arbitrary or perhaps self-serving denials of apps such as Search engines Words has switched lots more people to the idea of freeing on their own coming from reliance upon Apple company for these assets (and in addition, in some instances, coming from AT&T for any community transmission).

This the parameter to find what is a fake site and which is not. Google is now strict about the business submission. If site have proper telephone number and contacts then it is not fake. Most ticketing sites are fake and created by users when a brand announce its concert. I had experience it a lot. Second risk are from the eCommerce sites. Be aware of the contacts of a site before making a purchase through it.

>I just got an irritated smack-down for this very reason. I run a book review blog, and someone wanted to contact me about doing some reviews for her clients. She expressed unveiled frustration at not being able to locate my email addy. Timely post for me! I'm going to fix it today.
>Thanks, Rachelle, for bringing this up!! Your Blog Posts are super-informative and fun to read! I actually thought my email showed up on the comments I make on people's blogs. But I just checked and it appears(at least, to me) that's not happening. How do you handle getting your email "out there" when you don't have a Blog or a Website? Twitter perhaps? Or Facebook? (I would also like a photo on my blog comments but have no idea how to download into the Blog site?) Can you sign up at Blog even if you don't want to start Blogging yet? (Is it free?)

I don't think I have my email anywhere visible on my blog. LOL, it's common sense but that slipped my brain. Now I just gotta figure out how to do it over on WordPress.
Thanks for posting about this!
>Thanks for pointing this out Rachelle. I hadn't given it much thought until I read your post. It didn't seem that simple a task, since there are no widgets for that. But I created a "contact me" link to a page that has my email link on it. That seems to be the only one I could actally figure out how to do. Not very-techno savy.
>Thanks for the lesson on how to add contact info to my blog and web page.
>Duly chastened, Adam quickly added his email address to the 'About Me' page at adamrennolenn.tumblr.com.
>Rachelle makes a fantastic point! One I learned the hard way last month. Even longterm ISP's go away. My new email never will now (unless Google goes bankrupt – which I don't see happening 😉
Thanks again Rachelle for all the insights into the things we don't think about but should …
>Blogging is a very personal endeavor for some. I favor anonymity, much like a philanthropist who doesn't wish to reveal his/her identity when they donate large sums of money.
I've also taken the added step of disabling comments, but that has more to do with my personal situation than a desire not to connect.
And I suppose it could be said that I'm mostly a lurker when I read other blogs, whether they are writers or publishers. So I guess I'm like a blurker with blogger.
Having said that, this post definitely makes for some thought-provoking analysis, because I do think it's important for writers and authors to put their contact info on a website if they have one. Unless they have extremely personal reasons not to do so. (Which some do, and that needs to be respected by their readers. On the other hand, it behooves the writers to be upfront about it.)
But I certainly appreciate agents like Ms. Gardner who not only have the sincere desire to connect and communicate with people in general, and writers in particular, but are willing to take time out of their very busy lives to educate writers and authors with their publishing blogs.
I wouldn't be where I am today without their kindness and generosity!
>Thanks Rachelle,
Contact address encrypted on my website. I just need to add it to my new blog.
>Hi Rachelle
Thank you very much for excellent heads up. I never even thought of putting contact details on my blog. Done now. Best wishes, Chris

Are there specific things, or is it just everything? Is one site easier than the other? Everyone, please throw in any pearls of wisdom! Or just a little reassurance!
>Thanks so much for the heads up, Rachelle. I'm about to start a blog. And I'll probably get really distracted by choosing a template, etc. Now I hope I'll remember not to forget the contact link.
>Such a basic thing to overlook and I'm guilty too! I changed the sidebar on my blog around to make the contact info appear first and it took maybe a minute. I'll be passing this advice on to the other bloggers I know.

>I agree with you Rachelle and you have just given me homework to improve my website.
Thanks
>Rachelle,
Thank you for your blog. As many here, I didn't even think to include my e-mail. It's such an easy thing to include, and although we spend hours and hours blogging, we don't think of something so simple.
Thanks again! My website now includes a contact me button. Who knows if I've already missed out on opportunity. But then again, I believe in God's timing–it must not be my time yet. 🙂
>I have my email address posted everywhere I can think of and you'd be surprised at how few people use it. Ah well, I may one day regret that, but I guess I'll have to get much better known first.
>This seems like such an obvious element to include…and yet I haven't. Don't have a clue as to why not. Better get it fixed ASAP.
I just received my copy of Our Witchdoctors Are Too Weak. Can't wait to read and review it. Thanks!
>Ooooops! I got 'er done.
Just started my blog last month. I guess that's no excuse, though…
>Here by way of Marian Schembari ( http://marianlibrarian.com/ ) who linked you and makes one more point–a contact form is lovely, but would you ever know if it stopped working?
I'm headed off right now to put my email on my contact page.
>Hi Rachelle,
Do you think having a contact form, but not displaying your email address is an issue?
I've just got the contact form at my site (http://alanmurrayjones.com). Though, if it were at all off-putting, I'd add my email address as well.
Cheers,
Alan.
>I actually put a 'contact me' page on my blog *actually, i think it's titled "Show me some love!" because i'm desperate for attention* after reading something similar on another agent blog. I put up links to my twitter, facebook page, and email. Darnit, someone will get a hold of me somehow!
>Hmmmm… I might be guilty. I think it's on my website, but not my blog. Though my blog is on my website. I guess I think that if people are investigating me professionally, they would look first at my website since that's what comes up first with a google search of my name. I guess I should put it on my blog, too…?
>I'd to add a little something about privacy. I can understand why people would not want to be highly visible on the Internet. All it takes is one bad encounter with a scary, stalkerish type to make you want to eschew using the Internet for nothing more than ordering books from Amazon. That will kill the joy of blogging.
The trouble with being readily accessible to everyone who reads your blog is that … well, you're readily accessible to anyone who reads your blog.
>I'm guilty! To be honest, it never occurred to me that people would read my blog. It would seem like a massive leap of fantasy to think they might then, even having read what I wrote, still want to talk to me! ^_^
But yes, you have a point. On occassion, there are times when I've wanted to send an email to someone and it bugs me when I can't find contact details. I'll be adding it.
>This problem with email addresses can easily be fixed by never saying anything worthy of anyones attention. It's worked well for me so far, my email box is empty. No one has even requested my email.
Though I sometimes wonder if I am pursuing the right goal.
>Yup, it's there and you just reminded me to go check it!
>Woops! It actually NEVER occurred to me to put it on my blog. Thanks for the tip.
>An oversight! Just changed it. I had it on my older blog but not my professional one. Thanks for bringing it up.
>Thanks, Rachelle–you're always the voice of reason. I plan to get a blog or website after I get a book deal–or would you suggest one now? I do have one not related to my writing that I could expland. Thanks for all the great advice! (Signed: Anon–who is not bitter, just curious)
>So glad I finally added mine last month. Great post on why we need it; thanks!
>I have a contact me link on my about page, but you'd have to go to my about page to see it. Do you think that is good enough, or should I have a separate page with a tab in my navigation?
>David, what platform are you on? Just curious. I've noticed that Blogger and WP (.com, not .org) are particularly vexing. I'm going to transfer my existing content once I get a domain name pointed to my hosting service (yes, still using WP). Which is a whole new horrific ball game and gets put on the agenda once I have a *lot* of free time.
This brings up a new point. If you're already a freelance writer, should you have a separate blog that promotes yourself as a fiction writer?
>I just never thought about it–I figured comments were sufficient. Plus there doesn't seem to be a widget to create a contact page. But I have added my email address now! Thanks!
>Guilty as charged, and I will be adding it today!
>Thank you. I had my email buried at the bottom of my About Me page. It took me less than a minute to add a separate contact page.

>This is a tough one. I'm a pet behavior consultant and get a LOT of emails from people asking for free advice. So it's a fine line with me. I would LOVE to get your email, Rachelle! But I also can't be inundated with requests for help. One of my recent blog posts just went viral. I'm getting comments from people all around the world (yay!!!) but I just don't have the time to respond to them all and keep writing my books and blog.
>Wow, this post was a pleasant kick to the face, wakeup call, all that. I did not have any contact information on my blog before…that is now changed! Thank you!
>Auxerre: Unfortunately, anytime I mention something that *might* happen, people immediately want to generalize and assume that's how things *always* happen. This is why myths become so pervasive.
I've mentioned several times on my blog that sometimes I find clients through my own contacts or my own efforts, rather than through queries.
In no way does this translate to to "Queries don't get us an agent but being discovered does." Not even in the least.
If you're reading the blogs and twitter feeds of other agents, you know the query system is alive and well, and many agents are regularly signing new clients based on queries.
>Jaime 11:15 and everyone else: This is kind of a no-brainer but worth mentioning. You should never use an email address that is connected to your ISP. (Your Internet Service Provider.) They change, they go out of business, you move, or you decide to change ISPs… and now your email address is no good. It's no way to be professional or even keep up with your friends.
Always have an email address that will follow you wherever you go, is accessible on any computer in the world, and is highly unlikely to need to be changed due to the company going out of business. There are QUITE A FEW ways to do this. Gmail, yahoo, register.com, among others.
Jaime, make sure your new email address is one that will never have to change no matter how many times you move!
>Thank you for pointing this out. I'm off to fix my blog. Someday, you may get an email thanking you for taking the time to point this out.
Ummm, I'm thanking you now, but you know what I mean, I think. Oh, I'm rambling, THANK YOU!
>This post might be the one best myth to bust, not to be confused with disturbing the myth of unicorns. I hear more and more stories about writers being "discovered" by agents as opposed to agents answering queries. Is this the biggest myth of all? Queries don't get us an agent but being discovered does?
>Thanks. Good reminder. I've had mine listed for years, but looked again and found to issues:
1) "Contact" was in both the footer of every page, and on a drop-down menu from "Bio," but people might miss those, so I added it to the very bottom of my sidebar, another place people often look.
2) Through various blog redesigns, I'd knocked it off there without realizing it. Whoops. I just put it back.
—
BTW, I think it's very useful to actually use the word CONTACT. Lots of people don't want to visually search your page and just do a Find command on the word Contact or Email.
>Thank you for pointing out this issue. The more I learn about the writing and publishing business (I've only been at it about 8 years) the more I realize how frustrating an agent's job can be. It is so much easier to accept the standard rejection letter knowing that my query may have been the 50th one read that day.
While reading your post, I had to stop and think if I had a contact page. I'm relieved to note that I do!
Thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to teach on your blog.
>WHEW! I had to run check my blog and I have my email listed. The scary thing is I recently had to change my email address due to a move I was not expecting and my email was cancelled after ten years of use! I tried contacting all my contacts with the updated email, but you do always wonder if your contacts get lost in cyber space regardless.
GOOD POINTS today, Rachelle! 🙂
>Fixed it Rachelle. I always had a contact page but fulfilled your wish and added my email address to it just in case I was the one you wanted to ask the question "…whether they'd ever like to be published?"
>My email is EVERYWHERE on the web, it doesn't take long to contact me. It's on my bio on my blog and right there on my profile page. I do so much work with others on the web that I want to make sure I am easy to get a hold of and I have a "throw away" email address, so the spam doesn't bother me. Gmail is great about spam protection.
I always appreciate it when the authors I am trying to contact put their information directly for me to find. Makes my job so much easier and less frustrating. And I especially appreciate the ones who use their NAME and not an alias on their email program. I can't tell you how many times I try to find a name in my Outlook program and can't find that person because their email is under a different name.
Thanks for sharing this morning! 🙂
>Just wanted to underscore how vital it is to include contact information, so long as it's appropriate. Ditto for business cards. At the Blue Ridge conference last year, one male writer handed me his business card, but it had ZERO contact information on it, which meant it had practically ZERO value the moment he walked away. On the other hand, an attractive female writer handed me a business card with way too much info on it, including a nice studio portrait of her and her exact street address. I went back and urged her to get them reprinted without the location of her home. No reason to give potential stalkers a head start!
>Created an account just for my blog. Thanks for the advice!
>You know, this is one of those "duh, that makes so much sense" posts, and I must thank you for posting it. I've held back from posting an email address on my blog for fear of the dreaded spam, but you've shown me the error of my ways.
>Thanks for letting us know it is all right to add. I just included my contact information on your advice.
>Ahhh the smell of bitterness in the morning…
Ahem. Back on topic.
I've got my email address encrypted on my site in several places and have for a while.
If spam's the worry, there are too many good ways to filter that out these days anyway. A gmail account pretty much solves that problem right there.
>Thanks for the post. I have my contact info on my blog, but perhaps I could display it better.
>Rachelle:
I'm afraid to admit I'm one of those without contact information oin my blog. The problem is that I'm a technophobe. I don't understand how to get that contact info added. I've looked several times at widgets and gadget for adding a "Contact Me" box, but somehow I'm not getting it. Guess I'll have to try again.
>holy smokes!
>holy smokes!
>Anon 9:40: Yes, I'm closed to queries right now. I took on new writers I'd been in conversation with for weeks or months already.
Unfortunately I think many writers get a warped view of how the whole system works, and that's understandable. How can you know how it works when you don't sit in our place? The truth is, it's not a cut-and-dried linear system. It's not like we just open up our queries, find a good one, and offer representation. It may work that way sometimes, but often, there's a lot more involved.
I might find a writer I love but because of a full client list, I can't offer to rep them, so I have to wait. There are other factors, too.
Also, when I closed to queries, I still had a backlog of queries I hadn't even looked at yet.
The truth is, there are many ways I could find new clients without ever looking at another query again.
>You had me going to make sure my contact page was obvious and that the email form actually sends me an email properly. All systems go. You can email me anytime you want! 😀
>I had never thought about posting my e-mail address from that perspective. I knew people could contact me via my Blogger profile. However, that isn't immediately obvious.
I made the change this morning and added a contact e-mail.
>I was one of those without contact information on my site. I shared Rebecca Bradley's oversight: it's not something that I really thought about until this post. Thanks for pointing out the obvious! It escapes some of us, especially me.
Yes, I am going to add it today. I already have. It is in my sidebar.
I took Katie's tip, too, and put it in my Blogger profile. I had been wanting to respond to some of my commenters via email and didn't realize that my email wasn't available for others! Oops!
>Eegad! I thought my email address was on my blog, but it's not! Thanks for the reminder-and yes, I will be adding it today!
>Rachelle, that's great that you took on 6 new clients but aren't you closed to queries now, except from referrals or people you know from your blog? Please clarify–thanks
>Am I going to put my email on my blog after this post?
Hmmm, well…let me think about it! NOT! YES, I will be adding it to my blog SOON! 🙂
>I thought that I had my email address on the About Me page of my blog, but I double-checked it after reading your post and discovered – to my chagrin – that it isn't there. I'll be sure to update that today; thanks!
>I've always had my email available and it hasn't been a problem. I love hearing from others and get frustrated when I get a noreply to a blog comment.
>Thanks for posting this tip. It never occurred to me someone might want to discuss something other than my blog posts, so I never listed my contact information. I'll be adding an email address to my blog today.
>*cough* I'm putting my contact info up today *cough* I was in a "blog anonymously" mode for years (appropriate for my then single college girl self who wasn't trying to use her blog as a platform). Thanks for bringing the point up!
>I have my email under my profile. I'm thinking of bringing it up front to my main blog page. I've received several emails from people who have reached me this way. I don't think anyone should shy away from doing this.
>Thanks for the reminder! I've had my contact info on my original blog forever, so when I started a new blog a few weeks ago it wasn't in the front of my mind. Fixing that now.
>There are many occupations which necessarily include public contact information. And many available options for handling the need.
My husband was a news editor for years, and so we lived with much public scrutiny and exposure. For me, it has been a matter of learning to trust God to care for me in every way, including this exposure and subsequent risks.
Yes, we need to be wise, not foolhardy with our information. But that doesn't mean we should hide.
>I have my email on my sidebar and I took Katie’s tip and put it with my profile, too. I have found I’ve been getting more emails lately asking me to “partner” my blog with diaper companies and such. Now, I’m a fan of diapers as much as the next guy, but I’m just not sure that fits what I’m trying to do with my platform. (Maybe it’s time to get a gmail email address.)
Thanks for posting my picture and link this weekend. Fun surprise!

>It's a good reminder that we take two-way communication for granted. While we're on the subject of pointing out an absence of email contact, it may also be helpful to point out to authors that if people leave comments on your blog and you never interact by responding, that's a turn-off too.
Of course, if you get lots of hits on your blog/site you can't respond to everyone, but letting the commenters know you know they exist is a good thing.
But easy to take for granted. There are blogs of authors I've given up visiting b/c the author never interacts w/the commenters.
>Jane Steen and Anon 1:55: Let's get a couple of things straight. First, I am never, ever, emailing someone "waving a contract." I may want to enter into a conversation. I may want to ask them if they're agented or if they even have book ideas or aspirations. I may just let them know I'm reading their blog and would love to hear from them if they ever do have a book proposal. It's networking and I like to be in touch with lots of good writers.
That leads to my next point. Anon 1:55, you seem to be missing the connection here. One of the reasons I didn't take any new clients through query alone last year was because I'm out there making my own connections. It's my job not just to "read queries" but to "find good writers." How I do that is up to me, and my time is well-spent following up on referrals (a client tells me "check out this person's blog!")
By the way, whoever keeps harping on "zero out of 10,000 queries," take note: I DID take on new clients, just not solely through the query system; and in 2011 I've already taken on 6 new clients, some through queries.
>I've always had my email address on the "about" page of my blog, but recently changed the title of that tab to "about & contact" when a blog reader said he couldn't find my contact info. It's not always as clear as we think it is. Thanks for reminding us of that in this post. 🙂
>*facepalm* I left mine off for privacy issues! (I'm sure that is so 1999!)
I just mentioned this to my husband, (Mr. Techie) and he said, "She's right, you DO have yours don't you?"
Okay, it's now on the to-do list.
And I'd LOVE to know the answer to Jane Steen's questions.
Thanks Rachelle for this timely, albeit embarrassing, reminder.
>I would like to make a few observations about the comments:
Heidi mentioned privacy concerns. I don’t really see that complete privacy is an option if you hope to be a successful writer.
Adam Heine mentioned Anonymous’ gripe. I agree. The gripe is getting hold. Anonymous made his point the first time he said it. Most of us don’t agree with him. Let’s move on.
Melissa suggested that her contact information may not be relevant at this point. If you say anything of value online, your contact information is relevant. I have newspaper editors and bloggers contact me to ask permission to copy something I have written. I also have people who contact me to ask for advice after reading something I’ve written about some subject.
Some people are concerned about making their e-mail available because of spam. I have several e-mail addresses and I make them all readily available, with mailto links so people can click on it and it will (usually) bring up their e-mail edit window. I still don’t see that much spam.
>Never thought about it–that's what I thought the comment section was for (and I've had people leave me generic "contact me" notes there (legit and spam). I just use a blog, not a website at this point. Thanks to Lunar for the Blogger link above. Hopefully the instructions are so simple that even I can do it. 😎
>I totally agree. I have both my email addresses on my contact page: my personal one and my professional one (both encoded so the spambots can’t grab them).
I used to include my cell phone number. It was never abused until some trolls in Europe got it and started calling me daily.
>If I don't, it's my lack of attention to blame. Thank you for the reminder to keep contact informtion where it can be see and easily accessed. 🙂
>I'm one of those people, and I can only plead thoughtlessness. It never occurred to me that anyone would actualy want to contact me other than to leave a comment such as "gee, nice title," etc. So, I've added my email addy to my profile (easy) and as soon as I figure it out, will add it to my blog as well. Thanks for the helpful advice.
>Now that you mention it, my contact information may not be quite so readily available. It is prominent on my website, but on my blog the link is on my profile page. I’m not sure if everyone knows to look there.
>I have a contact me page with a place to send private messages to me. I did have my email address on the page, but I kept getting solicitations for people wanting to advertise on my blog.
My email address is on my profile though.
>I have mine on my blog.
Can I make another recommendation?? I LOVE when people put their email address directly into their blogger profile. I get all my blog comments via email and for those who have their email addy's plugged into blogger, I can hit "reply" to the comment I got through email and email them directly back. For those who don't, I can't email back. I have to go to their blog or website and try to find their email address, and like you said, Rachelle, sometimes it isn't there.
>Yep, contact page was one of the very FIRST pages I created for my website. It's vital. I even have my email address on the homepage, too. The easier you make it for people to reach you, the sooner they will.
>Thanks Rachelle.
I've put it, encrypted, right at the top of my blog sidebar.
I hadn't before because I struggle with technotrickery and had shied away from working out how.
It wasn't difficult. I used this page: http://www.bloggertricks.com/2008/01/email-me-htmljavascript-code-for-your.html
Hope that helps folks:o).
>Hi,
Not that I'm expecting an agent to contact me via my blog, but it's on my profile page if any one is interested. Please, please feel free to make contact. 😉
I never thought to put it on main page of blog: had thought I'd avoid spam mail that way.
>This is something I hadn't thought about until reading this blog post. It didn't cross my mind that someone would want to contact me. It's a new blog and I'm still settling into it, but I have now added my contact details should anyone I'm the future wish to make that contact. Many thanks for the great post.
>Thanks for the reminder! I have my email address on my website, but not on my blogs. Will correct that today.
>There's nothing weird about being "found" on the Internet. That's how my freelance career started — one of the editors of my favorite magazine saw my online scribblings and contacted me. You can believe that I framed that check stub! So yes, it does happen.
I didn't have contact information posted on my site until very recently because I'm using WordPress, an exercise in ::head bang.:: People who use this platform get me, don't you, fellow WP sufferers?
I'm not sure that my contact information is relevant to anyone at this point. I find social networking odious and disingenuous. I comment on the blogs of agents that I'm not querying. These seem to be the same gals who have the most to share, but sadly, we're not the right match. Ms. Gardener, I do so love your blog. It's my "go to" for information and encouragement — the place that talks me off this ledge of thought: "Ah, just delete all those pretty words and stick with paying clients and boring assignments." So, thank you quite sincerely.
>Is it just me, or does Anonymous make that "zero clients out of 10,000 queries" gripe on every post?
>Hard to believe you have time to scan strangers' blogs looking for potential clients, especially when you said you couldn't find one client out of 10,000 queries sent to you last year. With all these people reading and writing blogs, who's going to read all these books? No wonder most novels are a hard sell these days…
>You're right – I should add mine. In my case, I started the whole thing to be anonymous and just hide from my friends (since I am writing about some of them) and just be this anonymous poster with the idea I am just learning how to write and tossing stories out there to see what feedback I get. But it has all been good, and my cover has been well blown by the folks who know me, so I guess making myself contactable is reasonable.
>I don't have an email address listed on my blog, but this is something I've been thinking about a lot lately. I would like a way for people to contact me, but my current email has my first and last name in it, and my dad has privacy concerns.
I know I could create another email account, but I'm not sure what name to use. Blog name? First name?
>I don't post my email address publicly anywhere, but I do have a contact form on my website that people can use.
>I just checked to remind myself and I set up a "Contact Information" page on my blog. It's right there at the top and has my e-mail, my twitter, and my facebook information. So it's there. But separate so that my blog sidebar isn't clogged with information.
>I am currently in the process of building my website…we have email addresses for the website, but not on our individual blogs. I confess, I've been over-protective. But, you are right so I'm taking your advice! Thank you!
>I guess I don't have my email up on my blog because of privacy and spam issues. I never really thought to add my email to my blog, and I don't have a website yet so of course I haven't put one on there. I have to admit I'm still a little leery about putting up my email. Not sure why.
>I didn't have my email address available at first because of the SPAM issue, but then once I realized that I could list it as soandso (AT) server (DOT) com, I went ahead and put it on my blog page right under my photo. It just makes sense.
>Thanks for the reminder! I just switched over to a new blog format, and while the old one automatically included my email address on the About page, this new one does not. It's there now, though!
>I agree with you on this one! I definitely have contact information, including an email address, readily available on my author site–but as someone who also seeks out writers for some of my sites, I understand your frustration. 🙂
>I am just building my first website and a contact page was the first thing I did…seemed logical to me.
>Oops, sorry you've been trying so hard to reach me. It's janesteenATcomcastDOTnet.
Seriously though, I was wondering what would make you contact someone to ask if they'd like to be published? It seems to run so counter to the normal course of things, which is that we wannabe authors chase the agents with the light of hope (or desperation) in our eyes. The thought of a super-busy agent pursuing a blogger, waving a contract, is both titillating and weird. Does this happen often?
