Notes for Merlist Readers

A contact page usually ends with an address. This one explains why Merlist has none. Publishing a mailbox for a compact site draws automated promotions and article pitches at a scale that turns correspondence into sorting work, while messages from individual readers become difficult to find.

Merlist Media chose not to create that false front door. No one reliably monitors a public inbox for the publication, so presenting one would invite a reply expectation it cannot meet. There is also no contact form, survey, or comment section for private messages.

Articles come from within the publishing process

Merlist does not invite guest authors and does not accept contributed stories. Unrequested drafts, ready-to-publish posts, topic pitches, and attachments have no submission path here. The site includes no account or upload tool for prospective contributors.

A commercial motive does not change the answer. Proposals for brand placement, partner content, free resources, and similar arrangements are outside the publication's intake because there is no external editorial intake.

Requests about existing articles

Merlist will not process a request to insert a link, replace its destination, change the words attached to it, or remove it from a published page. The policy applies to one-off requests and campaigns sent on behalf of other sites alike.

The index is already public

Every Merlist article appears on the home page. There is no search box and no members-only catalogue, so that list is the most direct answer to questions about what the site contains. Browse it from beginning to end or choose any title that solves the task at hand. Nothing else is held back for email requests.
