Contacting Me

Hey :)

So you thought about contacting me.

And since you’ve come here, the chance I want to hear what you have to say is pretty high.

The only thing that’s missing is you somehow conveying it to me.

It regularly takes me ages to compose good first-contact messages. So let’s try something out: When you want to contact me, I expect you to not waste your time.

Got it?

Read it again: Don’t waste your time.

Take the least amount of time possible to convey the stuff you want to say—or ask me about.

If you think you can do that via text, do so:
[email protected]
If you think you can do that via a call, book one:

§ Wait, that doesn’t help at all. What. should. I. write?

Fine. Here are your examples:

§ Want to tell me I’ve got a typo somewhere/sentence jumbled/my english sucks?
