Work with me
Whether you’re looking for a partnership, collaboration, advertising, or a simple guest post, it is essential to read through these tips prior to us working together.
Address emails to me personally. Hi, my name is Carrie! Maximize the impact of your email by ensuring I know your message isn’t the same exact one you send to all the other folks out there.
Let's work together
Do 👍
Personalize your message with information you’ve found after reading through my website and learning a little bit about me. Not only does this catch my eye, but it makes me feel like you care about who I am, what I do, and think I’m more than just a means to an end for you.
Provide an offer in exchange for the investment of my experience and time helping you with your request. Collaborations should offer an equal benefit to all parties.
Connect with me when your products or services are relevant to what I do. As an autistic, ADHD, neurodiverse master beekeeper and gardener you should be aware of what services I offer before we chat.
Ensure you’re looking for authentic and honest collaborations. I provide honest product reviews and want my followers to see content and products I actually use and love. The best marketing comes from people truly passionate about what they share.
Align your pitch for collaboration with advocacy for all identities and cultures. The world normalizes young, white, thin, cisgender, heterosexual, and able-bodied people. Everyone else is considered “other” and I am committed to changing that narrative and redefining normal as diverse and inclusive.
Don't 👎
Start an email with “hi there” or another generic greeting.
Copy and paste a generic email pitch with no evidence you’ve researched what I do and expect to receive a response.
Ask for me to link to your product, mention you, or do anything that provides you with free marketing and offer nothing in return.
Expect collaborations to be effective when our target audiences don’t align. I want to share things that are relevant to my audience.
Ask for a guest blog post to promote your product or services. My followers are here to hear from me, and aren’t looking for un-related content from a source they didn’t sign up to hear from.
Request collaboration when your visuals and mission are not inclusive and representative of the amazing diversity in the world.

Redefining autism advocacy
Autism is a developmental disability that affects how we experience the world around us. As an actually autistic person I have a mission to donate to autistic-run organizations with every product sold and help highlight the profound possibilities autistic people contribute to society and the workplace through public speaking.
