Editorial Policy
Selfish Mode exists to challenge conventions around wellness, self-worth, and modern living. We center curiosity, self-prioritization, and cultural relevance—sharing ideas that encourage readers to choose themselves, intentionally and unapologetically. We write to empower, inform, and inspire without prescribing a single path to personal growth.
How We Create
Our editorial is rooted in:
-
Human experience — lived, shared, and constantly evolving
-
Cultural context — what’s shaping the world around us
-
Evidence & expertise — backed by credible sources and collaborative insight
We blend storytelling, research, artistry, and opinion to serve a modern, discerning audience.
Voice & Tone
We write with:
-
Clarity and intention
-
Intelligence without pretense
-
A fashion-editorial edge
-
Minimal exclamation marks
-
Respect for nuance and diverse identities
Our tone blends supportive honesty with a confident point of view. We avoid clichés, toxic positivity, and faux-wellness language.
Editorial Integrity
Every piece of content is created independently by our editorial team and contributors. We do not publish paid content that masquerades as editorial. When content is sponsored or created in partnership, it will be disclosed.
Selfish Mode will never:
-
Sell our opinions
-
Misrepresent facts
-
Publish content to intentionally mislead
When available, we cite relevant research and responsible sources.
Fact-Checking & Accuracy
Our factual content is researched using reputable publications, academic resources, expert interviews, and established data. We strive for accuracy and clarity. When updates or corrections are needed, we revise promptly and transparently.
Product Mentions & Affiliates
Occasionally, we may link to products or services we genuinely find valuable. Some links may be affiliate links, meaning Selfish Mode may earn a small commission if you make a purchase. These recommendations are based on editorial merit—not compensation. We disclose affiliate relationships where applicable.
Community & Representation
Selfish Mode champions individuality. We seek to reflect diverse identities, perspectives, and lived experiences. We are committed to reviewing language and approach regularly to ensure sensitivity, inclusivity, and cultural awareness.
We welcome critique, perspective, and community dialogue that expands the conversation, not diminishes it.
Personal Stories
When our content includes lived experiences from contributors or community members, we handle these narratives with care and respect. Stories may be edited for clarity, structure, and length, but never in a way that misrepresents the individual’s experience.
Corrections & Updates
If we publish content that contains an error—factual, contextual, or language-based—we will correct it. Major corrections will be noted at the top or bottom of the revised page. For correction requests, please email us at editorial@selfishmode.com.
Submissions & Contributors
We welcome pitches from writers, photographers, and creatives who connect with our philosophy. Contributors must agree to our values of respect, accuracy, and independent thinking. All submissions are edited by our team for clarity, tone, and alignment with our editorial standards.
Our Promise
We will always show up honestly.
We will always strive for nuance.
We will always prioritize integrity and creative freedom.
Selfish Mode is not here to tell you how to live—only to offer tools, stories, and ideas worth considering as you choose yourself first.
