Frequently asked

About the editorial team.

Who writes the BondageBox guides?

A five-person editorial desk: Margo Hartley (Senior Editor), Sasha Lawrence (Bondage Desk), Iris Kemp (Materials & Care), Theo Walsh (Couples & Beginners), June Calloway (Style & Lifestyle). Every guide carries a named byline that links to the writer's full bio + areas of expertise.

Are the bylines real people or pen names?

The bylines are stable pen names owned by the BondageBox editorial team, disclosed as such here and on /editorial-standards. The pattern follows columnist conventions used by The Economist and many UK trade publications: stable voice, transparent team ownership, single point of accountability per desk.

How do I contact a writer for a comment or correction?

Editorial corrections, press requests and citation queries all route through [email protected]; the Senior Editor (Margo Hartley) signs off on every correction. Direct quotes for journalists are usually arranged through [email protected] with a 48-hour turnaround.

How does the team decide what to cover?

Three signals drive the editorial calendar: UK search-intent gaps (queries with weak or PR-driven existing coverage), category-page authority needs (where a pillar guide can lift the underlying catalogue), and reader requests through the contact form. We do not accept paid guest posts or sponsored editorial.

Can journalists cite the team's work?

Yes. Every guide carries a stable URL, a clear publish date, and inline citations to verifiable sources. Cite as "BondageBox Guides, [URL], [date]". The full editorial policy + corrections record lives at /editorial-standards.
