How to reach Your Little Black Book
Although I sometimes don’t know how to handle all the mail in my inbox, I find personal contact with followers, (potential) clients, PR agencies, and restaurants the BEST part of my job. After 12.5 years of Your Little Black Book, I can honestly say that I have added many new friends to my inner circle, with the first contact being a simple (business) email to info@yourlittleblackbook.me.
Of course, I always try to respond to emails as soon as possible, but due to the abundance of press releases and requests and the fact that I travel a lot for Your Little Black Book, it may take a few days. Therefore, I have listed below how you can best reach me.

Do you want to send a package or a written invitation?
I love receiving mail and unpacking packages. But… of course, it’s a shame to send something we won’t really use. Often, we can feature it on Instagram Stories, but sending a package does not guarantee publication. If in doubt, you can always email us at info@yourlittleblackbook.me first. That way, we can ensure a win-win situation!

Personal tips or questions
I’ve lost count of the number of dates I’ve planned over the years or how often I’ve shared where I buy my bohemian dresses and TV cabinet. For such questions, it’s best to send me a DM on Instagram Stories. If I’m waiting for the tram or have 10 minutes between appointments, I try to answer all my DMs personally. Of course, I also enjoy it if you follow me on Instagram if you aren’t already!

Selling Your LBB’s books in your store?
Do you have a store and want to sell one of my books? That’s possible! You can email me, and I will connect you with my publisher.
Invitations for press trips, tasting dinners, or other reviews
Sometimes I still have to pinch myself to realize that I’m really there when I’ve flown to the other side of the world for a press trip, sitting in a new restaurant, or getting a beauty treatment. Even after all these years, it’s an honor when someone wants to collaborate on a press trip or review. For all these reviews, we prefer to get a ‘real’ experience, just as followers would. Therefore, we don’t often attend large press openings of restaurants but prefer to visit separately with a +1. It’s also much better for the photos! You can always contact us via info@yourlittleblackbook.me.
Submit a tip about a new hotspot
Do you have a great tip for a new hotspot opening soon? Let us know using the button below! It’s always great if you keep an eye out in neighborhoods we visit less frequently. Whether a location gets a spot on Your Little Black Book remains the editorial team’s choice, and we never discuss the reasons for placing or not placing it.
Promoting an event, pop-up, or location in Amsterdam
We are always looking for tips for fun parties, food markets, and unique events in Amsterdam to include in the Amsterdam Weekend Guide. Send your press release about two weeks in advance, including a link to the Facebook event, to tips@yourlittleblackbook.me. We receive many requests every week, but there’s only room for a limited number of tips.
Want to ensure placement? For local businesses, events, and cultural institutions in Amsterdam, it’s possible to advertise at a reduced ‘local rate’. This can be through a blog post, item in the weekend guide, via Instagram (Stories), or the newsletter. That way, you can reach 20,000 – 70,000 Amsterdam residents in one weekend. Check out the advertising page for more info >>
Grabbing a coffee?
SORRY! I hope you didn’t smile too much while reading the heading because I have to disappoint you. I receive multiple requests for coffee every day. From people who want to start a blog, new platforms that do almost the same as Your Little Black Book and see a good match for collaboration, girls with a fun idea they want to share only in person, new brands needing a springboard, or parties looking for free content. You can always email me, but because I’ve been running Your Little Black Book for a while and wasted a lot of time on unproductive meetings, I have become very selective. I sometimes don’t know how to juggle all the tasks with so few hours in a day. Please don’t take it as a personal rejection.
