Review Submissions

We now have a new way for you to submit things for review on diskant. Please read all about it here.

Tips for getting a reply:
Try and keep your emails short and to the point and use relevant subject lines. 90% of my diskant mail is spam so I can get a bit over-enthusiastic with the delete button. Try to use a sensible subject line as I get so much spam entitled ‘No Subject’ and ‘Hello’ that I’ll probably miss your mail. Give us at least two weeks to reply.

Mailing Lists and Newsletters

You can add newslists AT diskant.net to your mailing list but it’s nicer to be invited and have the choice. Joining is no guarantee that I’ll read it as I do get literally hundreds of emails.

You might like to read the Frequently Asked Questions page before contacting us. It’s quite possible that the answer to your query is already there. We are very busy so please be patient if we seem to be ignoring your email or taking forever to review stuff.
