Contact
Morning Room is read by people who write back, and we would rather hear from you than not. Email is the only channel we run, and a person reads all of it.
What to write to us about
Corrections. If an essay contains an error — a wrong date, a misspelled place, a detail that does not hold up — tell us which essay and what is wrong. We correct the piece itself and note substantive changes at the foot of it.
Story submissions. We read unsolicited essays. Send the piece in the body of the email rather than as an attachment, tell us briefly who you are, and give us two weeks before following up. We reply to everything we can, though we cannot promise a response to every submission.
Reprints and permissions. Our essays are the work of their authors. If you want to reproduce one — in a newsletter, a class, a care home reading group — write and ask. The answer is usually yes, and it is usually free.
Privacy requests. If you want to know what data this site holds about you, or want it deleted, say so and we will handle it. See our privacy policy for what we collect.
Advertising and partnerships. Use the same address and put "advertising" in the subject line.
Response times
We answer most email within three business days. Corrections we handle the same day we see them. If something is time-sensitive, say so in the subject line.
