Hi Aly, I feel like I've followed all the correct protocols with pitches, even sent you a couple of experts on coffee freshness and their phone numbers but never heard back from you. I understand if my pitches didn't hit the mark but was surprised you didn't acknowledge the sources I sent. Do you get too many emails to respond? Just want to be sure I'm not doing something that's off-putting! Would love to hear back from you. Thank you!
While journalists do get a lot of emails in a day, every day (figure around 800 a day during gift guide seasons), I assure you that all emails are read and saved and if it's a fit for anything coming up, will get another look at that time. But no it's impossible to answer every email we get in a day - we'd get nothing else done!

Totally understand and I appreciate your reply! Thank you for all you do!
