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.

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 We don't read, evaluate, or give feedback on unpublished work.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 (sponsored by SFWA) tracks scams and questionable agents and publishers. 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.
