Let’s Talk (But Read This First)

The TLDR

Fill out the form below. I read everything and respond to the good stuff.

That’s it. That’s the contact page.

…Okay fine, there’s more context below so you don’t waste your time (or mine).

What To Contact Me About (The Good Stuff)

✅ “Your Content is Amazing and Here’s Why”

Compliments are always welcome. My ego needs constant feeding. Tell me which article changed your life, which cocktail recipe you tried, or how our D&D drinking guide saved your campaign night.

Response Time: Within 24 hours (I’ll probably screenshot it and send it to my mom)

✅ “I Found a Typo/Error and I’m Pedantic About It”

Listen, I proofread my own work, which means I miss EVERYTHING. If you found a typo, broken link, or factual error, please tell me. I’ll fix it and add you to my mental list of “people who actually read the content.”

Response Time: Within 48 hours + eternal gratitude

✅ “I Have an Idea for an Article/Recipe/Review”

Love this. Reader suggestions are how we find our best content. Pitch me your themed cocktail idea, your gaming night format, your weird product that needs testing. If it fits the niche and isn’t insane, I might write it.

What Makes a Good Pitch:

Be specific (“You should do cocktails for Baldur’s Gate characters” = good)
Explain why it’s interesting (“Everyone would read this because…” = good)
Don’t just say “you should write about beer” (too vague)

Response Time: Within 1 week

✅ Brand Partnerships & Sponsorships

I’m open to working with brands that fit The Drunk Nerd vibe. Here’s what that means:

GOOD FIT:

Craft breweries
Cocktail ingredient/tool brands
Gaming peripheral companies
Streaming equipment
Bar gadgets & smart home tech
Gaming furniture
Party game publishers
Anything at the intersection of gaming + drinking

BAD FIT:

Cheap liquor trying to look premium
Generic electronics with no gaming/entertainment angle
MLM schemes (absolutely not)
Crypto/NFT projects (go away)
Anything I wouldn’t actually recommend to friends

What I Need From You:

Tell me what you do (in one sentence)
What you’re proposing (review? sponsored post? affiliate deal?)
Why you think it fits The Drunk Nerd
Your budget/compensation offer (let’s not waste time)

My Standards:

I only promote products I genuinely like
Sponsored content is clearly labeled
I maintain editorial control
If it sucks, I’ll tell you (nicely) and we don’t move forward

Response Time: Within 3 business days

✅ Guest Post Pitches

I accept guest posts from writers who:

Actually read The Drunk Nerd (don’t copy-paste a generic pitch)
Have expertise in gaming, drinking, or the overlap
Can write in a fun, engaging voice
Have something original to say

Pitch Requirements:

2-3 sentence pitch explaining the article idea
Why YOU’RE qualified to write it
Include links to 2-3 writing samples in your message

What I DON’T Accept:

“I have 5 generic articles ready to go” (no thanks)
AI generated slop (I can tell, stop trying)
Thinly veiled product promotions disguised as articles

Response Time: Within 1 week (usually faster)

✅ Press/Media Inquiries

Podcasts, interviews, collaborations… I’m down. Just tell me:

What the opportunity is
When you need me
What format (written Q&A, live interview, etc.)
Why you think I’m a good fit

Response Time: Within 2-3 days

What NOT To Contact Me About (The Bad Stuff)

❌ “Can You Promote My Totally Unrelated Product?”

If it’s not gaming, drinking, or nerd culture related, the answer is no. I’m not promoting your dropshipping store, your forex trading course, or your cousin’s Etsy shop (unless it’s gaming/drinking themed, then maybe).

❌ “I Need You to Write My Content For Me”

I’m not a content mill. If you want custom content written, hire a freelancer. I’m busy running THIS site.

❌ “You’re Wrong About [Opinion] and Let Me Tell You Why”

I love constructive criticism. I don’t love essays about why my subjective opinion on beer is objectively wrong. If you want to debate beer styles or game mechanics, do it in the comments where everyone can enjoy the chaos.

❌ “Help Me With My Personal Tech Support”

I write about gaming gear but I’m not your IT department. Google it, check the manual, or call the manufacturer’s support line.

❌ Legal Threats

If you think I’ve infringed on something, contact me like a normal human first. We can probably sort it out. Leading with “MY LAWYER WILL CONTACT YOU” is a bad vibe.

How to Guarantee a Response

DO: ✅ Select the right category in the dropdown
✅ Be specific about what you want
✅ Keep it under 200 words if possible
✅ Include relevant links if applicable
✅ Be funny (bonus points)

DON’T: ❌ Write a novel (I’ll skim it and miss important details)
❌ Be vague (“I have an opportunity for you” = instant ignore)
❌ Use all caps (WHY ARE WE YELLING?)
❌ Submit the form multiple times (patience, young padawan)
❌ Put “URGENT” in every field (nothing is that urgent)

Response Time Expectations

Average Response Time: 24-72 hours for most inquiries

Slower Response Times:

Weekends (I’m gaming/drinking)
Major game releases (currently busy with whatever just dropped)
Beer festivals (I’m researching, okay?)

Faster Response Times:

If you’re offering me free beer (immediate)
If you found a critical site error (ASAP)
If you’re a long-time reader (you’ve earned priority)
