[1] How to send me money
Expenses relating to any advice given you are always agreed in advance. For expenses totalling more than £10, I send invoices which must be paid in full within 14 days of the invoice.
If you want to buy something advertised on this site, you need to e-mail me first to make sure I can supply it.
I prefer payment through PayPal, but will accept a sterling cheque (see below).
To pay through PayPal, note my e-mail address first (t.holkham@sky.com), then go to PayPal.com and follow the instructions for making a payment. You don't need to tell me when you've paid - PayPal will notify me.
If you wish to pay by sterling cheque, please e-mail me first, so I can tell you my address.

[2] How to send me your work
Books: First send a preliminary e-mail asking to submit a manuscript.
You will be given a code to put in the subject line of your submission if you are sending it electronically, or a mailing address if you wish to mail your manuscript.
The reason I have to do this is to keep down the volume of junk mail and e-mail spam I receive.

If sending prose, please include a one-page synopsis (overview) of the work you are submitting.

I will let you know in advance what reading fee expenses (if any) will be charged, depending on the size of the work, typically £10-£15 and may ask you to pay in advance (see Terms of Business below).

All material:
Include your name, full street address, phone number and e-mail address.
If sending hard copy, number, and staple or bind, all pages securely.
I will confirm receipt.
You retain all rights to your work.
Your details will be kept confidential and never passed to anyone else unless you expressly authorise it.
I will not normally return work sent by post, so only ever send me a copy.

Please e-mail first before you send material electronically, and please don't call to ask if I've read it - I will contact you.

[3] My terms of business
My terms of business are simple.
You deal fairly with me and I deal fairly with you.
Cheques must clear (a minimum of five working days) before payment is deemed to have been made.
By entering into any agreement with me you are deemed to have accepted all terms and conditions given on this page.

[4] Who is this woman (see picture)?
She was originally thought to have been Beatrice d'Este, painted by Leonardo da Vinci, but current thinking (by the Ambrosian Gallery in Italy) is that the painting is of an unknown woman by Ambrogio de Predis.
So who is she? If you have any idea, please contact me now.
