If you want to make sure you never miss a new release, a bonus story, or a surprise book deal, would you add my email address to your contacts? Just take a few seconds to save author@TraciLovelot.com to your contacts under Traci Lovelot.
It’s the easiest way to guarantee you keep getting my emails. But if that doesn’t work, there are other ways…
Below are instructions for the most common email providers. Hit yours to jump straight down to it:
Gmail | Yahoo | Outlook / Hotmail / Live / MSN | Apple Mail / iCloud | AOL | Comcast | Thunderbird | Earthlink | McAfee, Norton, Trend Micro, SpamAssassin, Barracuda
If those instructions aren’t helpful, try these from my friends at HiddenGems.
Some people still call this a white-list 😬 but in this day and age, let’s call it what it really is: a list of safe senders, people we trust to email us what we want to see instead of spam.
I would be honored to be considered one of your safe senders!
