Important information

I know you're in a hurry, but please read this page fully. It will ensure you aren't disappointed later and will enable us to help you as quickly as possible.

• We will respond as quickly as possible, but we reply personally to emails and this takes time. Please allow a week before following up to check if we've received your email - whatever it's about.

• If you've bought the ebook Journalism Careers - Your questions answered and you forward your receipt with any enquiry, you'll get priority treatment.

• We are not able to directly offer any paid assignments or jobs or to enter into any partnership arrangements that involve working with you on writing or photography projects

• The more narrowly you can define your question, the more likely you are to get a useful reply. I don't know where to start with emails that say 'how can I be a journalist?' - I've built this whole website to try to answer that. Be specific about what you want to know.

• I retain the copyright in any emails I send to you - that means you can't publish them online or in print. If you want to do something like this, ask first.

• Your use of this site is subject to my privacy policy (opens in a new window). In short - I agree not to add your email address to any mailing lists, and you agree not to abuse my email address too; I'm free to use any ideas you send to me without compensation to you.

• Regrettably it is not always possible to reply to emails due to pressure of time and the amount of email I receive.

• Please check this website before emailing - often questions I'm sent are already answered in the ebook Journalism Careers - Your questions answered (link to questions index) or the articles section.
