If sending via regular mail, please enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope. If sending via e-mail, please submit to submissions@defioreandco.com. Please include the word "Query" in the subject line, and include all text in the body of the e-mail. All attachments will be deleted. Response time: six weeks.
