Contact FAQs

I’m a journalist, freelance writer, or some kind of producer. Can you help me out with a piece I’m working on?
You bet! E-mail me at jamie at psychologyofgames.com to get things started, then I’m happy to talk via e-mail, phone, or video call. I’ll spout something interesting, useful, or entertaining –or try to point you in the direction of someone who can help if it turns out I can’t. Maybe both.

Also, be sure to shoot me a quick note when the piece goes to print or online. I’ll promote it to my readers.

Okay! How should I refer to you in my article or paper?
However you think is appropriate, but maybe this will help: “Jamie Madigan is a psychology Ph.D. who writes about the overlap between psychology and video games.” Linkbacks to my website (www.psychologyofgames.com), and/or my Twitter account (www.twitter.com/jamiemadigan) are always appreciated and should fulfill any need you feel to reciprocate my help.

If you need a headshot, consider the one on the “About” page. If that doesn’t work, let me know.

I found this one article you wrote interesting. Can you tell me where to find out more?
Thanks! But chances are I mentioned most of what I have on hand in the article. I might be able to dump a bunch of citations on you, but probably not. Try http://scholar.google.com/ or http://www.citeulike.org/ for more.

I wrote an article that I think you might want to post on your site.
Thanks, but I’m not looking to take submissions for the site right now.

Can I post an ad on your site? I’ll pay you.
Thanks, but I’m not pursuing advertising revenue for the site.

Do you want to buy these herbal enhancements?
No.

Can I reprint your article on my website?
Maybe, but not without my permission and there will probably be a syndication fee involved. E-mail me and we’ll talk.

Can I reference your article or quote from it?
That’s fair use, so yes absolutely. Please do, in fact.

I’m a teacher or professor. Can I use your articles in a class I’m teaching?
Really? That’s awesome, so yes. Please do.

Would you like to collaborate on a scholarly project or study I’m working on?
I’m intrigued. E-mail me to tell me more.

Can you play my indie game or student project game and give me feedback?
I …uh …maybe? That sounds time consuming, though, so most likely I’d say yes and then never get around to it. I’m just being honest here.
