Affiliate Disclosure

Template — and this one is not optional if you earn commission. In the US the FTC requires that affiliate relationships be disclosed clearly and conspicuously. The Amazon Associates Operating Agreement separately requires a specific statement. Delete this page entirely if you are not an Amazon Associate — claiming a relationship you don’t have is its own problem.

Amazon links

Book listings on this site link to Amazon.

[IF YOU ARE AN AMAZON ASSOCIATE, THE REQUIRED STATEMENT IS SOMETHING LIKE: “As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.” Check the current Associates Operating Agreement for the exact wording it demands, as it changes.]

[IF YOU ARE NOT AN ASSOCIATE: replace this whole section with a plain statement that links are provided for convenience and earn no commission, and remove the footer link to this page.]

What this means for you

The price you pay is not affected. [CONFIRM AND KEEP THIS SENTENCE ONLY IF TRUE.]

Editorial independence

[STATE PLAINLY WHETHER COMMISSION INFLUENCES WHAT IS LISTED. On an author’s own catalogue site the honest answer is usually that every book listed is the author’s own work, which is worth saying outright.]
