Affiliate Disclosure – The Wandering Quill

At The Wandering Quill (the “Website”), I believe in being upfront and transparent about how things work—especially when it comes to links and recommendations.

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, this Affiliate Disclosure explains that some links on this Website may be affiliate links and what that means for you.

1. What Affiliate Links Are

The Wandering Quill, owned and operated by Martin L Laird, participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means some links you click on may be affiliate links (links with a tracking code). If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission—at no extra cost to you.

2. Why They’re Here (and Why It Helps)

Affiliate income helps support the time and costs involved in running the Website (hosting, recipe testing, content creation, and keeping resources available). The goal is to keep The Wandering Quill a helpful, approachable space for gluten-free living and autoimmune-friendly lifestyle support.

3. My Promise About Recommendations (Editorial Integrity)

I take trust seriously. I only recommend products, tools, and services that I have personally used or genuinely believe will add value to my readers. Affiliate partnerships do not determine what I share, and they do not change the honesty of my opinions, reviews, or recommendations.

4. Amazon Associate Disclosure

The Wandering Quill is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

5. Where You’ll See Disclosures

To comply with FTC guidelines, I aim to make disclosures clear and noticeable—for example, near affiliate links, within relevant posts, or at the top of a page where product recommendations appear. If you ever have a question about whether a link is an affiliate link, feel free to assume it may be, or reach out and ask.

6. Third-Party Purchases and Responsibilities

Any purchase you make through an affiliate link is made directly with the third-party company (not The Wandering Quill). I don’t process payments, handle shipping, or provide customer service for those orders. If you have any issues with a product or order, please contact the retailer directly.

Thank you for supporting The Wandering Quill—it helps me keep sharing gluten-free recipes, helpful tips, and resources with this community.
