Contact Information for Jayne Cravens &
Coyote Communications

 
I'm happy to hear from you, but FIRST, before you contact me:

• please do NOT ask me for grants advice/funding suggestions beyond what I already freely offer in this document (unless you are willing to pay a consulting fee for this information)

• please do NOT ask me to recommend a volunteer management/constituent management software package (I provide the list of everything I know about, but the choice is up to you)

• please do NOT ask me to review your web site or your software and provide feedback (unless you are willing to pay a consulting fee for this information)

• please do NOT ask me how to start a nonprofit organization (this information is oh-so-easy to find online).

• please do not write and say "I need to talk to you by phone" and offer no information about the nature of your inquiry.

• please do NOT start your email off with "Dear Sir." If you think I'm a man, then you haven't really read my web site, or you assume everyone on the Internet is a man and, either way, it's insulting and I'm not going to be open to anything you say, quite frankly.

I'm happy to take questions from the press or, really, anyone, but please remember that, while I do give away a tremendous amount of information and advice away for free via my web site and on various online discussion groups, I'm also a consultant, and need to pay for rent, utilities, insurance, and groceries. I'm happy to give you a quote for my services, but please be as specific as you can about what it is you might want me to do.

If you are writing in regard to a particular Web page on my site
PLEASE give me the exact title of the page or the exact URL address. If you are writing to add something for this Web site, include your name, email address, Web address (if applicable) and the name of the company you represent (if any).

If you want to suggest a link FROM this Web site, please read this linking criteria.

If, after reading all of the above, you're in doubt about whether or not to write, please email me anyway; the worst that can happen is that I'll say no. I'm grumpy only with those people who don't read the above bulleted text or address me as "Sir" or "Mr."

If you want to talk by iVisit or Skype, please email me with your contact information for either platform and your proposed day(s) and time(s) to talk. Until the end of March, I am on Central European Time (that's six hours ahead of New York City). As of the end of April, I'm on USA Central Time until further notice. View my public calendar if you want to figure out where I am (Europe or the USA -- or elsewhere!).

To contact me via email, you must remove the word OINKMOO from my email address. SORRY for the inconvenience!

Internet email: jc@OINKMOOcoyotecommunications.com (remember to remove OINKMOO from the email address after you click on my address)

You can send a text message to my phone by following the jaynephone Twitter account (note that I don't "tweet" to this account; it's only for the receipt of text messages to my cell phone; be sure to say who you are when you ask to join because, if I don't know you, I won't approve your request to follow the jaynephone Twitter account.

You can contact me via Yahoo instant messenger when I'm online; my Yahoo i.d. is jcravens42 (this is cross platform with Windows Live/MS Messenger, AIM, and the IM programs in FaceBook and MySpace).

If you would like to try talk online via voice or video conference, I prefer to use iVisit (it's free). My id is jcravens.4947; please contact me to set up a time to talk. I can use Skype as well -- contact me for my Skype ID. I do not "hang out" on iVisit nor Skype -- if you want to talk via either, please email me to set up a time.

Or, if you would like to talk via phone, please email or IM me for my phone number and to set up a time to talk.

Contact me via email or IM if you need a postal address for me (please say why you need such).
