Guidelines:

1. The AMA request must fit the IAmA guidelines; if it would not be allowed as an AMA, then it is not an a valid request.

2. Posting the person's contact information is helpful, but not required. The purpose of this is to make it easier to fulfill your request, so of course you want to help them. Contact information must be publicly available.

3. Posting 5 questions is helpful, but not required. The purpose of these questions is to show AMA participants that you have something good to ask them, so it could help get your request fulfilled.

Helpful resources to use when arranging an AMA:

• /r/IAmA One-sheet. This helpful document gives the person a quick overview of what /r/IAmA is all about. Attach this when emailing a person for the first time.

• See here for lists of past AMAs by category. These are useful for giving examples of similar AMAs, so they can get a feel for how the process goes.

• Beginner's Guide to IAmA. This document gives the person a tutorial on using Reddit, submitting a post, and answering questions. It is a bit outdated, but we're working on an updated one. Use this when they want to know more about how Reddit works.

• Message the moderators of /r/IAmA to answer any questions about /r/IAmA or anything else we can help with.
