Publicity Requests

My work has been featured on such popular and widely read news and lifestyle websites as Salon, Alternet, and the Daily Kos. We Are Respectable Negroes has been mentioned by The New York Times, Slate, the Week, and is linked to by a number of influential online magazines such as the Atlantic.

As such, I often receive PR announcements, press and media pitches, and requests for reviews of books, movies, and music.

I am open to receiving publicity materials. Contact me via email at chaunceydevega@gmail.com and I will forward my contact information if you would like to send me a book, video game, screener, or other type of correspondence. I do not guarantee that I will mention them online, or that I will give a positive review if I choose to write about your submission.

I will not return said items unless you explicitly request that I do, and include postage and a self-addressed mailer.

I am routinely invited to press screenings of movies, as well as conferences, conventions, and similar events. Again, if interested and nearby, I will intend if possible.

I am an honest critic and will not promise a positive review of any materials sent to me or event that I attend. If I do give a mention, my comments will be honest, critical, and fair.

I am developing content for the podcast series here on We Are Respectable Negroes. If you are an agent and have a client that you believe would be a good fit, by all means send along an email. I am open as to subject matter--to date, I have interviewed fiction and non-fiction writers, as well as other creative types and professionals, from a range of backgrounds.

Smart, entertaining folks with something new and interesting to say are always welcome to reach out and pitch an appearance on the podcast series.
