This page sets out where money, free books, and other material connections touch
anything published on this site. If something here is unclear or looks incomplete,
email me and I will fix it.

## Affiliate links

Some book links on this site are affiliate links to **Bookshop.org** and **Libro.
fm**. If you buy through one of them, I earn a small commission at no extra cost
to you. Bookshop.org also shares a portion of its profits with independent bookstores.

Affiliate links appear on the home page, the Reviews page, the Reading Ledger, and
individual review posts. On listing and shelf pages, a short disclosure sits directly
above the book cards. On individual review posts, treat this page as the disclosure
until the post itself carries a short line above the book card. Theme-generated 
affiliate links are marked `rel="sponsored"` in the page code.

An affiliate link never changes what I say about a book. I link to titles because
I have read them, am reading them, or intend to. I do not accept payment for a positive
review, and I have never been offered one.

## Review copies and ARCs

I sometimes receive advance reader copies (ARCs) or finished review copies from 
publishers, authors, or platforms such as NetGalley. Receiving a copy is not a promise
to review it, and it is never a promise to review it favourably. Where a review 
covers a book I did not buy myself, the post says so at the top.

## Editorial clients

I work as a freelance editor. If I have been paid to work on a book, I will not 
review it here. If a personal or professional relationship with an author or publisher
could reasonably look like a conflict, I will disclose it in the post or decline
to write about the book.

## Contests and open calls

Occasional blog roundups of contests and open calls are gathered by hand from public
sources. Nobody pays to be listed, and listing something is not an endorsement of
the organisation running it. Deadlines and entry fees change without notice — always
check the official listing before you submit. I flag entry fees where the source
states them, but the source is not always right. There is no separate Opportunities
page on this site.

## Rates

The starting rates on the [Services](https://annagreen.org/services/) page are anchored
to the Editorial Freelancers Association’s published rate ranges. They are starting
points, not fixed prices; every project is quoted after I read a sample.

## Questions

If you want to know whether a specific post involved an affiliate link, a free copy,
or a prior working relationship, [ask me](https://annagreen.org/contact/) and I 
will tell you.
