If you would like me to write a guest post or do an interview for your blog, please contact me via email (unbravegirl at gmail.com).If you’d like to feature my blog or one of my posts on your Website, please feel free to do so — as long as you write flattering things about me. (Start with “pretty” and go from there.) Be sure to let me know so I can mention your post here. It’s a win-win situation, really! You say nice things about me. I say nice things about you saying nice things about me. Everybody wins, right? (Well, I win more than you… but still, it’s a pretty sweet deal.)
Already featured me or my blog on your Website but it’s not listed here? Please don’t be offended. I probably just forgot. (Not because I’m such a big deal or anything, but mostly because I have a horrible memory… and my fondness for tequila hasn’t helped matters.) Please send me an email to remind me so I can give you a shout-out here.
