Write to Niva.

Email is the only channel. No social, no DMs, no Substack notes. I read everything and reply when there's something to say.

niva@nivaliving.com Typical reply: 2-4 days. Mention urgency in the subject if you need a fast answer.

What I love to hear about

Small-apartment kitchen problems I should write about. Tools that earned their square foot. Disagreements with my reviews. Your version of "I tried this thing because of Niva Living and here's how it actually went."

For brands

Subject line "Sponsored". I only do long-form essay sponsorships. I have to use the product for 30+ days before I commit to writing. Affiliate-commission models work better than flat fees for both of us. My readers are 28-50 urban renters who cook regularly and have strong opinions about whether something deserves its counter space.

For press

Same email, subject "Press". I am not on any of the major social platforms by choice. If you need an author photo, the round portraits on this site are fine to reproduce with a credit link.

What I'm not

I am not a chef. I am not a professional reviewer. I am not a financial advisor. I am one person with a small apartment and strong opinions about gear that fits.
