Editorial standards

Our readers trust The Mindful Mag to be accurate, useful and honest. These standards apply to everything we publish, including articles from contributors.

What we look for

• Original work. Articles must be the author's own and not published anywhere else, including the author's own site.
• Real value for readers. First-hand experience, practical insight or genuine expertise. We do not publish disguised advertising.
• Accuracy. Facts, figures and claims must be correct and, where needed, supported by credible sources.
• Clear, plain writing. Most articles run 700 to 1,500 words.

Use of AI tools

AI tools may help with research or editing, but the ideas, experience and final wording must be the author's own, and the author is responsible for every fact. AI-generated images must never be presented as real photographs.

Links

Links must be relevant and genuinely useful to readers. Editors may remove or change links, and we limit links to the author's own business.

Images

Images should be high resolution (ideally 1600 pixels wide or more) and you must own them or have permission to use them. Include a photo credit where one is required.

Editing and decisions

Our editors may edit any piece for clarity, length, accuracy and style. Submitting an article does not guarantee publication, and we contact authors only when we decide to move forward.

Transparency

Sponsored and partner content is always clearly labelled. Errors are corrected promptly. To report one, please contact our editors.
