Contact
Slushpile is a small site. There is no contact form, no ticketing system, and no newsletter. For anything you might want to reach us about, email works.
General inquiries and corrections
hello [at] slushpile.org
Use this address to flag a factual error on a guide, report a broken tool, or ask a question that isn't already answered in a guide. Include the URL of the page in question — it makes everything faster.
Advertising and partnerships
ads [at] slushpile.org
For direct advertising, sponsorship, or affiliate partnership inquiries. We do not accept paid guest posts, paid links, or sponsored content that isn't clearly labeled as such.
Privacy and legal
privacy [at] slushpile.org
For data-access requests, takedown notices, or legal correspondence. See the privacy page before writing — most questions about what we do and don't collect are answered there.
What we can't help with
A few things come up often enough to list here:
- Manuscript critique. We don't read, evaluate, or give feedback on unpublished work. For paid critique, freelance editors list services on Reedsy and the Editorial Freelancers Association.
- Agent or editor referrals. We don't have relationships to broker. For research, QueryTracker and Publishers Marketplace are where most writers start.
- "Is this agent legitimate?" questions. Writer Beware (run by SFWA) maintains a thumbnail of known bad actors. Check there first.
- Guest-post pitches, backlink exchanges, or "guest author" schemes. The answer is no.
Response times
Emails are read in batches, usually within a week. Corrections get priority. If your email goes unanswered for more than two weeks, it either didn't land or didn't require a reply — not a slight.
