Write to the editors

Everything to do with letsgetbetterlife.com arrives there. A plain email is enough; nothing below is a required format, only the detail that tends to make a reply useful.

What helps, by kind of message

Corrections

Give the title or the address of the essay, and where you can, quote the sentence you are questioning. If a source or a line of reasoning contradicts what the page says, mention it. Corrections carry further than any other kind of mail here, since they change what the next reader sees.

Questions about an essay

Say which piece prompted the question and where your situation departs from the one the essay describes. That second part matters more than it sounds, because most good questions about this material turn out to be questions about a condition the essay quietly assumed.

Permissions and reprints

Say what you would like to use, how much of it, where it would appear, and whether the use is commercial. Short quotes with attribution need no permission; the terms of use describes where that line falls. Anything larger does need permission, and asking is usually quick.

General notes

Subjects you would like considered, notes on what read well or badly, questions about the site itself. These are read even when they go unanswered, and they shape what gets written next more often than the sender expects.

What to expect back

Mail is read. Replies are written by the editors rather than produced automatically, so they arrive at the pace a small publication can manage. No specific turnaround is promised on this page, because promising one would be guessing. Corrections and permission requests are handled ahead of general correspondence. Some notes are read with real gratitude and never answered, which is arithmetic rather than indifference.

Email sent here is used to reply to you and nothing else. The privacy policy sets out how that correspondence is handled and how to ask for it to be deleted.

One thing the editors cannot do

Personal advice about health, mental health, or a financial situation sits outside what this publication can responsibly offer, however kindly the question is asked. A message of that kind deserves a better answer than this address can give, and it is better directed to a qualified professional who can consider your particular circumstances: a physician, a therapist or licensed counselor, an accountant, or an adviser you trust. The reason is plain. A stranger reading an email cannot see enough of your life to answer well, and a careless answer to a question like that can cost you something real.
