The short answer

Write to [email protected]. Corrections get read first and answered fastest. Questions about an article and press inquiries are welcome. Guest posts, sponsored posts, link insertions, paid reviews and product samples are declined without exception, so please do not send them.

There is one contact method and it is a real inbox: [email protected]. Mail goes to Cole Brennan, the editor and sole author, and is read by him. No form, no ticket queue, nobody in between.

Reporting a correction

Corrections are the priority and get the fastest response. Send three things and a fix takes minutes instead of days:

  1. The URL of the page.
  2. The exact sentence that is wrong, quoted.
  3. The source that contradicts it, with a link.

That third item is what matters. A correction backed by a position stand or a primary data source is checked and applied immediately; a message saying a page seems off takes a research session first. Corrections are made in the article with the change noted, as set out on how we research.

Questions about an article

If a guide is unclear, or a recommendation does not map onto your equipment, age or schedule, write in and say so. These often change the article, because a question that arrives twice means a section is badly written, not badly understood.

What cannot be answered is individual coaching or anything medical. Iron Leaks publishes general information for healthy adults and is not a medical provider, as spelled out on the disclaimer page. A problem with your body needs a clinician who can examine you.

Press and republishing

Journalists, podcasters and editors reach the same address. Say what you need and by when, and the deadline will be met or declined honestly rather than missed. Reuse beyond a short extract is covered by the terms.

Not accepted, ever

Guest posts. Sponsored posts. Paid link insertions and link exchanges. Paid reviews. Product samples, review units and free equipment. Affiliate partnerships and ad placements. Iron Leaks takes no money from supplement brands, equipment makers, gym chains or certifying bodies, and that independence is the site’s entire value, as explained on the about page. These pitches are deleted unread.

What to expect

One person reads this inbox alongside writing and reviewing every article here. Corrections are looked at the same day when possible. Everything else is answered in order, quickly some weeks and not others. No response-time promise is made, because a number that gets missed is worse than no number.

Email is the only published contact method: no phone number, no postal address. Privacy requests use the same address, as described in the privacy policy.
