Common questions

Things people usually ask

If your question is here, you might get a faster answer.

Do you take on freelance writing or ghostwriting work?

Yes. I selectively work with brands, founders, and creators who want to connect their message with the right people. This includes long-form content and ghostwriting projects, particularly on LinkedIn. Use the form above and select "Consulting work" so I know what you're after.

Can I republish or quote from your essays?

Short quotes with proper attribution and a link back to the original post are welcome. For anything longer, full republication, translation, or syndication, please reach out first. I'm generally open to it, I just like to know where my words are going.

Can I share my story, or pitch you an interview idea?

I selectively accept stories shared with me. I'd like to be able to compensate contributors for these, but at the moment, I can't. RLT Journal is built around personal experiences, which are sometimes deeply vulnerable to share, so I read every pitch carefully and only move forward with stories that genuinely feel like they belong here. If you have an idea like that, pitch it. Just please don't send generic content proposals.

Are you available for speaking, podcasts, or workshops?

Yes. I've hosted storytelling and journaling workshops built around themes from Our Untold Truths, and I'm open to speaking engagements and podcast conversations on motherhood, migration, identity, and the craft of personal storytelling. Use the "Press & Media" tab in the form above for the fastest response.

How can I support RLT Journal?

The best thing you can do is share a piece you loved with someone who might love it too. Beyond that, subscribing to the newsletter keeps you connected and helps with reach.

What's the best way to reach you?

For anything time-sensitive, email is faster —[email protected]. For everything else, the contact form here is best for longer messages or anything where you'd like to preserve context.
