Contact

Gail cordially invites you to join the Chirrup. It’s her fun newsletter, about once a month, with exclusive goodies, sneak peeks of new books, special offers shown to no one else, and giveaways. She will never share your email address or send you spam. Ever. (Opt out anytime. Privacy policy here. Keep the Chirrup out of Spam? Whitelist it.)

“The only newsletter that makes me smile!”
~ Joyce on Goodreads

“The Chirrup is an unparalleled delight that eclipses the short and rather stagnant posts found on most other author’s social media platforms. Also tea.”
~ Elizabeth on FB

Ooo, Pick Me!

* How do I pronounce the “g” in Carriger? It’s hard, as in grrrrr.
* ARC request? Please leave a calling card.
* Blurb request? Apologies, but Gail no longer provides cover blurbs by request. If she has already reviewed your book on Goodreads or BookBub, feel free to contact her for a quote. Why is this the case? Be warned Gail pretty much only reads queer comfort these days (light hearted queer protag books with happy endings). Gail’s Reading Wheelhouse: she likes this and she hates this.
* Questions? This website is kept up to date. Please do not ask for information already available here. At the very least, try Gail’s FAQ.
* Event organizer? Gail is open to both in person and online speaking arrangements, please leave a calling card.

You may also contact (snail mail) Gail via her literary agent, Kristin Nelson. Sadly Gail can not be your pen pal, nor is she qualified to be your counselor or writing coach.

Gail Carriger & Piper J. Drake have a podcast about traveling writers. Check out 20 Minute Delay because they aim to help with all your travel quandaries.
