The Tip Line

For creatures

Tips reach the manager by way of a golden Labrador, a guinea pig, a parrot, and the crows behind the bakery. Most of them arrive second-hand. The manager checks every one of them for holes, the way you would check a second-hand sweater.

If you are a creature in need of detectives, tell a crow. The crows will know where to go.

For grown-ups

Literary agents, editors, teachers, librarians, and booksellers: a proper way to reach the author will be posted here soon. In the meantime, the manager asks for patience, which he has a great deal of, and sardines, which he does not.
