Disclosure & Affiliate Notice

Last updated: April 14, 2026

Naked Soul is a personal writing and publishing platform created and operated by Naked Soul Press.

This site began in 2014 as a place for essays, reflections, poetry, and long-form writing. It remains first and foremost a personal creative project. The purpose of this website is to publish meaningful work, share ideas, and recommend books, tools, or resources that I believe are genuinely worthwhile.

That said, running a website does involve real costs, including hosting, domain renewals, backups, software, email tools, storage, design, and maintenance. To help offset a portion of those costs, this site may sometimes use affiliate links.

Some pages, posts, newsletters, or emails may contain affiliate links. This means that if you click a link and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission or referral fee at no additional cost to you.

I only intend to recommend products, books, or resources that I personally use, have used, have meaningfully reviewed, or believe are genuinely relevant to the subject being discussed. However, you should always use your own judgment before making any purchase or relying on any recommendation.

Naked Soul currently may participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, which is an affiliate advertising program that allows websites to earn commissions by linking to qualifying Amazon products. Amazon also requires Associates to identify themselves appropriately when using affiliate links.

As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Sponsored, Gifted, or Compensated Content

From time to time, content on this site or on related channels may involve a material connection, including, for example:

If a post or recommendation includes such a relationship, I will aim to disclose it clearly and in a way that is reasonably noticeable to readers. The FTC’s guidance is that material connections should be disclosed clearly when they could affect how consumers evaluate an endorsement.
