When my correspondents reproach me for tardiness, I can only say that I give as much attention to a letter as I do to anything I write, and I work at least six and sometimes sixteen hours a day.” ~ William S. Burroughs

Donations Help

Do you need help stopping a monthly donation? If you donate via PayPal, please see this page; if via credit or debit card, please go here.

If you would like to change the donation amount, I’m afraid I don’t know of a way to do that other than cancelling your current donation and set up a new one in your desired amount.

Media Inquiries

I am not currently available for any interviews, talks, or readings. You can find everything you need to know about Figuring here and in the book itself.

In an effort to minimize my carbon footprint and maximize my writing time, I am not taking on any new speaking commitments involving travel in the foreseeable future.

Feedback

Need to get in touch with me with a question? Flag a typo? (I’m human.) Send a kind word? You can email me. (If it’s about a monthly donation, please see the section below first.) There is only one of me — no “team,” no staff, no magic elves helping me — and I receive so much email that even if I made it my full-time job, neglecting Brain Pickings completely, I’d only be able to get through a fraction. So please be patient. A clear subject line will help. Thank you.

Please do not send PR pitches, press releases, and other promotional materials to this email address — they will not only be discarded but will also cause divine fury in my spirit animal, which is not the response you’re going for anyway.
