I’m always pleased to hear from readers. You can write about anything you like, it doesn’t have to be about the books. If you’re not bonkers, I’ll write back. Please be aware, though, that occasionally I reply to people who plainly are bonkers so the receipt of a reply can not be taken as a certificate of competence to operate machinery or stuff like that. I am very happy to answer questions about writing and associated matters.
I didn’t get a reply, does this mean I am bonkers?
Not necessarily, it could just mean you are rude. Most people who write to me are utterly charming, but one or two…well…what can one say? When a total stranger writes to me I quite like some sort of salutation. Nothing dramatic - hello, hi, dear, good morning…anything really. No need for Mr Pryce, or anything, Malcolm is fine. Just something, you know?
I’m also not especially keen to hear from people who:
- Issue me with a list of demands.
- Gloat how they paid 5p for my books in a charity shop.
- Claim the concept behind my Aberystywth books is very similar to one they had themself but didn't have time to write down.
- Call me a nutter.
