GENERAL INQUIRIES
To contact the Oh Joy! blog please email hello{at}ohjoy.com.

PRODUCT SUBMISSIONS
We are happy to receive submissions about your product or artwork. Oh Joy! mostly covers home interiors and decor, paper goods, artwork, fashion and some personal accessories. {We do not cover children's items - sorry!} If we do decide to post about your work, we will respond within 3 business days of receiving your email. Although we will try to respond to everyone, if you do not hear back within one week, then we encourage you to submit your work to another site that may be more inline with your products.

We love to post things that are new and have yet to be seen elsewhere or on other blogs, so if you've recently been featured in another blog or submitted to another blog, please note that with your submission. Also submissions that are NOT mass emails typically get reviewed more quickly.

We do NOT offer paid editorial coverage.

Submissions can be sent to: hello{at}ohjoy.com AND please include the word "SUBMISSION" in the subject. Please include a few small (low-res) jpegs of the product with your email. If we need larger images, we will contact you for them.

ADVERTISING
Ad spots are available in 120x120 and 120x240 sizes. A variety of advertising packages are available. Email hello{at}ohjoy.com for reader stats, rates and availability. Please include a link to your website when inquiring.

OTHER INQUIRIES
Career Advice & Business Questions
I get a lot of emails asking about various aspects of starting a design business, product line, and/or blog. I am happy to answer your questions or provide advice if I can. For advice on starting a product line, I HIGHLY recommend reading Craft, Inc. which gives a great overview to all aspects of a creative product-based business.
