That’s great! Please keep reading or skip to the bottom of the page for my contact info if you pretty much know what I’m going to say in the following paragraph.
The only way artists and writers can sustain their efforts is through compensation for their time and skill. (No, “exposure” is not enough.*) Please feel free to share links to any of my content on your social media pages or web-based communities to your heart’s content. That’s LINKS — no right-clicks or screen-caps to download an image and then re-posting it from your computer or copy/pasting blocks of text without citation. If you absolutely MUST share this way, you must provide credit back to the website and/or page of origin.

CONTACT ME
If you see a photo/graphic image you’d like to use online or elsewhere, if you would like a print, or if you’d like to publish one of my articles on your own blog, please contact me thru email at manteega [AT] yahoo.com or thru Facebook or Instagram. We will work something out, and I thank you in advance for not considering yourself a special case operating outside the rules of common courtesy. Exchange of money for work is not necessarily the rule. If you are truly working in a non-profit capacity or have a special case I would be happy to discuss permissions at no charge. I’m always interested in offers of trade as well.
