CONTACT SHAWN

Have a question, a media inquiry, or something worth telling us about?

Thanks for checking out Shawn E. Bell’s website.

If you’d like to get in touch with Shawn, please use the contact form below. Every legitimate message gets read – if it gets past the webmaster’s scrutiny.

A Few Things You Should Know

Appearances, Interviews, and Rights Inquiries

Requests for appearances and interviews can be submitted through the contact form. Shawn does not handle interview requests or questions about rights to his work through text messages, social media, or other informal channels. Start with the contact form.

Personal Information

The webmaster will bend over backward to help Shawn’s readers and fans. However, Shawn’s personal email address, home address, telephone number, and agents’ contact information will not be provided.

Because Screws Fall Out All the Time

If you’re reporting something that’s broken, please give us enough information to find it.

• Broken link? Tell us which page the link is on.
• Typo or grammatical error? Tell us where Shawn lost control of his keyboard and the pixels ran wild. Including the offending word or passage would help.
• Technical problem? Include the page address where you found it and, if possible, tell us what went wrong.

The more information you provide, the easier it is to fix the problem.

Some Other Housekeeping

Please don’t send manuscripts, screenplays, stories, ideas, book proposals, or other creative material to Shawn.

Your stuff isn’t nearly as good as what Shawn writes, and it – quite clearly – suffers by comparison.

That’s a joke … The legal part isn’t.

For your protection and Shawn’s, the webmaster cannot accept unsolicited creative material. Anything submitted will be deleted immediately and will not be read by Shawn.

Don’t waste your time or pixels.
