Hi! I’m Sharon Z, the real live person behind this website! I like wielding a torch and helping other makers run their businesses. I love hearing from people and this contact form is the best way to get ahold of me.
I WILL respond within 48 hours to the following inquiries:
- Questions about my consulting packages or eCourses.
- Questions about jewelry in general. I am always happy to direct you to resources or dig up older blog articles to answer your questions.
- Cold pitches about being a guest on your podcast, cold pitches for me to write for your publication, being interviewed as a subject matter expert for your article (small business issues, jewelry, ethics in marketing), paid public speaking opportunities, paid writing opportunities.
I will NOT respond to the following inquiries/offers:
- Submissions to my blog – I write all of my articles and do not accept blog submissions. If you submit or attempt to pitch you won’t be hearing back from me.
- Pitches to “fix” my searchability on Google. My friend? You clearly had no trouble finding me.
- AI whatevers. I am not a fan and will not be getting onboard with your latest Generative AI slop tool. If it steals from artists, just assume I am a hard nope.
- I reject 98% of the pitches I receive via this contact form for irrelevance. If you are considering submitting a pitch, read my guidelines for pitching before filling out this form.
What about donations?
On a case by case basis. I donate to orgs that align with my values – We Wield the Hammer, mutual aid and bail funds, etc. If you don’t know what my values are, then please do a little more homework first. My blog, social media, and interviews are mostly public.
