SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

This column will be published via TinyLetter, an email newsletter platform, and promoted on social media. Submissions are anonymous beyond my inbox. Submit a question at any time by emailing dinapeone@gmail.com with the subject line "query.” If you submit a query, you will be automatically subscribed.

Query submissions should not exceed 300 words. Please do not include any attachments or viruses in your email.

Signatures should employ a playful alias such as “Lost in Spays” or “Unremarkably Yours.”  

I will only select topics that Ghostfingers feels qualified to discuss. Although Ghostfingers may not respond to your submission, I will acknowledge receipt.

Ghostfingers may sound otherworldly, but if you expect to receive wisdom from beyond, you will be disappointed. 

Your response might include a book recommendation, a poem, or a riddle that is not helpful at all.

Ghostfingers will not engage in subsequent dialogues after providing advice. Our sincerest apologies; Ghostfingers has a rich inner life that includes seeking advice from others. 

Not every topic is suitable for an advice column. If your life or someone else’s life is at risk, then please seek crisis support via professional medical practitioners or other relevant authorities. This column is not a substitute for medical advice or psychotherapy. It is, however, a substitute for boredom and existential angst.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Disclaimer: I retain all rights to my published responses, which may not be used elsewhere in any form without my explicit and written consent.
