If you feel moved by my writing, my story, or something in you recognizes something in me — you’re welcome to write. I read everything myself. I don’t always reply instantly, but when I do, it’s with care and attention.
Please don’t write to me if your message is:
- aggressive or combative
- trying to convince me of something
- political persuasion
- moralizing about my choices or my life
- unsolicited critique
- romantic or sexual in nature
- “Can you help me escape Russia?” style requests
Messages I welcome:
- thoughtful reflections
- people who resonated with something in my writing
- questions about my books or projects
- invitations or opportunities that genuinely fit who I am
- simple human connection from people who feel like my kind
