Taldorin Press
How We Work

EDITORIAL STANDARDS

Taldorin Press operates under a set of defined editorial principles that govern how articles are commissioned, reviewed, and published. These principles are applied consistently across every piece that appears on the publication.

01 — Foundation

The Governing Principles

Taldorin Press operates under the following editorial principles: articles are reviewed by at least one second editor before publication, sources are cited where appropriate, corrections are noted publicly, and writers disclose any commercial relationships that could influence their selection of subject matter.

Articles published on Taldorin Press are editorial in nature and reflect the writers' observations on everyday wellness practices. The content is not intended as professional advice, nor as guidance for the management of any specific condition. Readers with specific concerns about their daily routines are encouraged to speak with a qualified wellness professional.

02 — Process

From Pitch to Publication

01

Pitch Review

All article pitches are assessed against the publication's subject scope: everyday eating patterns, food and mood connections, habitual snacking behaviours, eating environment, and related behavioural observations. Pitches outside this scope are not commissioned.

02

Source Verification

Factual claims in submitted drafts are checked against cited peer-reviewed research or publicly available data. The editorial desk requests supporting references for any assertion that describes behavioural patterns, eating triggers, or related observations at the population level.

03

Second Editorial Review

Every article is reviewed by a second editor before publication. This review checks for tonal consistency, factual grounding, and compliance with the publication's content principles. Articles that do not pass this review are returned to the writer with notes.

04

Disclosure Check

Writers are required to declare any commercial or institutional affiliations that might influence their subject selection. These disclosures are published at the foot of the relevant article. The publication does not accept content produced on behalf of commercial organisations.

05

Publication & Dating

Articles are date-stamped on publication. Where a piece is substantively updated after first publication, the revision date is noted at the top of the article alongside the original publication date. Minor copy corrections do not require a revision date.

06

Corrections Policy

Factual corrections are noted publicly at the foot of the relevant article, with a date stamp and a brief description of the change made. The original erroneous text is not deleted but is struck through and replaced inline, so the record of correction is transparent.

03 — Scope

Subject Areas Covered

The publication focuses on a defined set of subject areas related to the relationship between emotional states and everyday food choices. This scope reflects the editorial interest of the founding desk and is maintained consistently.

Articles that range outside these subjects — including those addressing specific conditions, interventions, or professional guidance — fall outside the publication's remit and are not commissioned or accepted.

Emotional Eating & Eating Triggers
Observations on the connection between emotional states and food choices, including boredom eating, stress and food, and comfort food habits.
Mindful Eating Awareness
Pieces examining attention while eating, eating pace and fullness, recognising fullness cues, slowing down at mealtimes, and mindful portion awareness.
Food Journalling & Pattern Recognition
Practical and observational pieces on food journalling, weekend eating patterns, habitual snacking, and eating without hunger.
Eating Environment & Context
Pieces exploring how setting, social context, distracted eating, and night-time eating patterns shape everyday food choices.
04 — Sources

Research & Source Standards

Peer-Reviewed Research

Where articles reference behavioural or nutritional research, the publication expects citation of peer-reviewed sources. Authors are asked to link to or note the original study, not solely to a journalistic summary of it.

Evidence-Informed Approach

The publication favours an evidence-informed approach to content selection. This means articles are grounded in published research where available, and personal observations are clearly distinguished from research findings within the text.

Third-Party Verification

Editorial fact-checking draws on publicly accessible databases and published data sets. The publication does not accept claims based solely on commercial communications from product manufacturers or wellness organisations.

05 — Accountability

Writer Accountability Standards

Writers contributing to Taldorin Press are identified by name in the byline of every article they produce. Anonymous or pseudonymous submissions are not accepted. All contributors are required to supply a brief biographical note, which is published alongside the article.

The publication maintains a record of each writer's contributions. Where a pattern of inaccuracy or sourcing failure is identified across multiple pieces, the editorial desk reserves the right to remove prior articles from publication and to notify readers of the removal.

Guest contributors are held to the same standards as the publication's regular writers. The editorial desk does not apply a lower standard to occasional or external contributors. Disclosure requirements are identical for all contributors regardless of frequency of contribution.

06 — Notice

Taldorin Press is an independent editorial publication focused on everyday wellness practices. The publication is not affiliated with any commercial, governmental, or institutional body. We recommend speaking with a qualified wellness or nutrition professional before introducing any new habit or routine to your daily life, particularly if you have specific dietary requirements.
