How No Self Limits operates. The policies below govern what gets published, how reader letters are handled, how corrections are issued, and how monetization is disclosed. They are public because readers deserve to know how the work is made.
Editorial identity and accountability
No Self Limits is an independent editorial publication for first-time and early-career managers. It operates under the No Self Limits editorial identity. Pieces are published without a personal byline because the work is intended to be about the reader’s situation, not the writer’s biography. The publication is responsible for the accuracy of what it publishes and for issuing corrections when readers identify errors.
Editorial process
Articles are researched, drafted, edited, and fact-checked before publication. Source material includes management research, peer-reviewed studies where available, named books from the standard management literature, primary sources from credible publications such as Harvard Business Review and McKinsey Quarterly, and patterns documented across reader letters submitted to the publication.
Drafting and research tools may be used during the production process. They do not replace editorial judgment, fact-checking, or the publication’s accountability for what is published. Final wording and editorial direction are reviewed by the publication before any piece goes live.
How reader letters are handled
Letters submitted through the Suggest a Topic page are read by the editor and used as editorial raw material. Not every letter becomes a published piece. When a letter informs a published piece, the following anonymization rules apply without exception:
- No names of people or companies. References to specific employers and individuals are removed.
- Industries are reframed in the broadest possible category (“a SaaS company,” “a consumer-goods company,” “a fintech startup”).
- No unique identifiers. Team sizes, job titles, locations, industries, tenure lengths, and other details that could identify a specific individual or company are removed or altered.
- Details are often composited across multiple similar letters so no single published piece maps to any single reader.
- The published letter is sent to no one for pre-approval. Anonymization is the responsibility of the editor, not the letter-writer.
What the publication will not publish
The publication does not publish: generic motivational content; recycled social-media takes; advice that the publication cannot support with research, named sources, or documented management literature; content about named individual employees or executives in ways that could be read as personal attacks; content with factual claims that cannot be verified against credible sources; content that promotes products or services in exchange for payment without clear disclosure.
Corrections
If you identify a factual error, a misattributed source, or a claim that does not reflect current research, send it through the contact page. The publication corrects errors above the fold of the affected piece, dates the correction, and where the error was material, links to the corrected version from any place the original ran.
Sponsored content and monetization
The publication does not currently run paid sponsorships or sponsored posts. Some links to recommended books are Amazon Associates affiliate links. The publication earns a small commission on qualifying purchases at no extra cost to the reader. Books are recommended based on widely-cited authority in the management literature, not on commission rates. Affiliate relationships do not determine editorial content. Full affiliate disclosure is on the Disclaimer page.
