Contact & Correspondence
Ned’s Folly is a shared archive of creative failure, and we welcome letters from readers who have a story to tell, a correction to offer, or a question about the essays. Reach us by post, phone, or email — we read everything and reply to most things within a few days.
For long-form submissions, printed letters, or books you would like us to consider for the reading list, send them to our editorial office.
1237 Pule PlazaPlease allow extra time for postal deliveries; we check the office mailbox twice a week.
Prefer to talk through a story before writing it down? Call us during office hours and ask for the editorial desk.
If we miss your call, leave a short message with your name and number. We return calls within one working day.
For essay pitches, folly confessions, or general enquiries, email is the quickest way to reach the team.
We aim to respond to every email within three working days. For confidential submissions, mention “private” in the subject line.
The editorial desk is staffed during the hours below. Outside these times, you can still leave a voicemail or send an email — both are checked regularly.
To help us route your message to the right person, here is what each channel is best suited for.
Essay pitches and long-form submissions — send by email with a short outline and your working title.
Reader folly confessions — these can be anonymous; just note that in your message and we will keep it that way.
Bookshop suggestions and corrections — a quick email is fine, or call during office hours if you prefer to talk it through.
Folly Support Desk
Every great failure begins as a small misstep. Tell us about the project that went sideways, the recipe that collapsed, or the design that missed the mark. Our editors read every submission and may feature your story in an upcoming essay.

Visit the Salon
The editorial office sits above a former print shop in Thabisoshire, a short walk from the old market square. We keep the door open on weekday afternoons for readers who want to drop off a folly confession in person or simply argue about the merits of a well-intentioned disaster.
Thabisoshire Central is a fifteen-minute walk from the office. Follow Station Road toward the market square, turn onto Pule Plaza at the old clock tower, and look for the navy-blue door with the burnt-orange sign.
Metered parking is available along Pule Plaza and the adjacent side streets. The nearest public lot is behind the municipal library, roughly three minutes on foot.
The entrance is step-free, and the ground-floor reading room is wheelchair accessible. If you are visiting for a salon evening, let us know in advance and we will reserve a seat near the fireplace.
