Everything here goes to the same inbox. The subject line just helps it get answered in the right order.

No mailing list, no follow-up sequence. One reply, from Kaye.

Before you write

The four questions that arrive most often.

Will Kaye join our book club?

Often, yes — usually by video, usually about twenty minutes, and free. Give two or three possible evenings and roughly how many of you there are.

Can she speak at our event?

Send the date, the format, the audience and the budget if there is one. Talks run about forty minutes with questions after.

Can I quote from the book?

Short extracts for reviews and articles, freely. Anything longer, or anything in a book or performance, goes through rights.

Will she read my manuscript?

No — not out of unkindness, but because she has no useful advice to give and says so honestly.

“Write anyway. The worst that happens is a slow reply from somebody who meant it.”
