The dispatch
One email a fortnight. A new translation, one mechanism explained, and a note on what changed in the rules. No product recommendations, because we do not make any. No affiliate links, because we take no commission. One click to unsubscribe, at the top and the bottom of every issue.
We use your address to send the dispatch and for nothing else. We do not sell, rent, share or enrich it. See privacy for the detail, including the lawful basis and how long we keep it.
Sponsorship rate card
| Placement | What it is | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Single issue | One labelled sponsor block, up to sixty words plus one nofollow link | £250 plus VAT |
| Four issues | The same block in four consecutive issues | £850 plus VAT |
| Twelve issues | The same block in twelve consecutive issues | £2,400 plus VAT |
There is one slot per issue and it is always in the same position, clearly labelled as sponsorship. There is no second slot, no native placement, no takeover and no issue written around a sponsor.
What sponsorship cannot buy
This is the part of the rate card that matters, and it is why it is published rather than negotiated.
- It cannot influence any translation entry. No sponsor can commission one, alter one, soften one or have one removed. The translation index is outside the commercial relationship entirely.
- It cannot buy editorial coverage. Our articles name no companies, so there is nothing to buy.
- It cannot buy a preview. Sponsors do not see the editorial content of an issue before it is sent.
- It cannot buy a veto. A sponsor cannot delay, block or withdraw an article or an issue.
- It cannot buy our subscriber list, or any part of it, or a mailing sent on a sponsor's behalf to it.
- It cannot buy a dofollow link. The sponsor link is nofollow, as every outbound link on this site is.
- It cannot buy an unlabelled placement. The block is labelled sponsorship, every time, in the same way.
- It cannot buy repeat business as leverage. A multi issue booking confers no editorial privileges of any kind.
Who we will not take sponsorship from
- Anyone requiring editorial input, approval or preview as a condition.
- Anyone selling a product making medicinal claims without an authorisation.
- Anyone subject to an unresolved enforcement action we are aware of relating to product safety or misleading advertising.
- Anyone who asks for the sponsorship not to be labelled.
Booking
Through the contact page, using the sponsorship route. Sponsorship enquiries do not reach the editorial team, which is a deliberate separation rather than an administrative one.
