I am very busy, and can no longer respond to every message.   :-(

Here are some tips on reaching me.

1. Don't ever use snail mail, as that doesn't get read.
2. Don't name drop. If we have a mutual friend, have them do the email intro.
3. Don't have your assistant reach out to me if we don't already know each other. You should make first contact yourself.
4. Please don't offer to buy me coffee or to ask for only a ten minute meeting, as there is no such thing.
5. Don't BCC me.
6. Don't include your glamour shot in your email to me.
7. Be concise.

Email but no promise of a response.
