Partnerships

Thoughtful Directory considers collaborations that are relevant to reading and useful to our readers. Partnership arrangements do not determine independent editorial decisions, and paid or partner material is clearly labelled.

Relevant collaborations

We may consider book-related events, reading initiatives, cultural projects, learning resources and other collaborations connected to the publication's subject. A proposal should explain the intended audience, the format, the partner's role and what readers would gain. We do not promise coverage, a positive opinion or a particular editorial outcome.

Partner placements

The site may accept clearly labelled partner placements, including a listing or link within a relevant area. Placement is subject to editorial fit and space. We do not present paid links as independent recommendations, and a listing does not imply that Thoughtful Directory has tested, reviewed or endorsed the partner's offering.

Labels and proposals

Sponsored or partner material will be identified in plain language at the point where readers encounter it. Editorial articles remain separate from paid placements. To propose a collaboration or placement, use the Contact page and select the partnership option; include the proposed format, subject and relevant details.
