More PR failures
Just in case you're thinking of pitching me via email, try and avoid these two mistakes I found today.
1. My name is Mark; calling me Brian isn't too tragic, but not exactly best practices.
2. Make sure your reply-to address works. And include alternative contact info in your signature just in case. My reply to a story pitch today bounced as "domain non-existant" and the sender had just signed with their name and no other info. I will try and track you down somehow, but I'm not overjoyed at having to do so.
