Who is responsible for Memphis Vendor Library
Ownership, accountability and how to reach the desk about anything on this site.
Short answer
Memphis Vendor Library is written, edited and published by Memphis Vendor Library Editorial Desk, the editorial company for this publication. That company is the byline on every page here. It is under common ownership with several of the projects this publication cites, which is disclosed here, in every page footer, and next to every affiliated link, because a reader who finds out later has been misled, and a reader who is told up front can weigh it.
Responsible publisher
- Publisher and responsible editorial company
- Memphis Vendor Library Editorial Desk. Accountable for what this publication says, for correcting it when it is wrong, and for the standards on the sourcing and AI-use standards page.
- Corporate relationship
- Memphis Vendor Library Editorial Desk is the editorial company for Memphis Vendor Library and nothing else. Every publication in this group has an editorial company of its own. No other corporate detail is published here: this page states the relationship and stops, rather than dressing it up with particulars that nobody has established.
- Named staff
- None. This publication does not name individual editors or writers, does not publish staff biographies or credentials, and does not put a personal byline on a page. Where that changes, a named contributor will appear on the contributors page with a profile they control, and only on the pages they actually wrote.
- What this publication covers
- hosting, weddings, parties and vendor decisions in Memphis, and the planning questions that do not change with the city.
- Who it is written for
- people planning an event in the Memphis area, and the hosts and vendors who work with them.
- Editorial contact
- editor@memphisvendorlibrary.com
- Corrections
- corrections@memphisvendorlibrary.com — see the corrections policy and log.
Ownership and commercial relationships
Each of these publications is published by its own editorial company, named after the publication. The editorial companies are under common ownership with each other and with several of the projects these publications cite. That common ownership is disclosed on every masthead, in every page footer and next to every affiliated link rather than obscured.
Accountability sits with the editorial company, which is reachable at the editorial and corrections addresses on every page. No individual member of staff is named on this site, and no page claims a named author who did not write it.
The three publications in this group each have their own editorial company, and those companies are commonly owned. They are therefore not independent of each other and do not claim to be. What they are independent of is any payment for coverage: nothing on this site can be bought, and no listing, mention or placement is for sale at any price.
The projects below are commonly owned with this publication. Where a page cites one, the citation is labelled on the page as an affiliated project. This publication publishes no rankings, no awards and no scored comparisons, so an affiliated project cannot be ranked above anything.
| Affiliated project | What it is | Relationship |
|---|---|---|
| Dream Wedding Builder | wedding planning tools, templates, and interactive planning resources | Commonly owned |
| Porch & Party | Memphis porch decorating hotel decor party styling grazing tables | Commonly owned |
What this publication will not do

- It will not attribute a quote to a person who did not say it.
- It will not present an affiliated project as an independent recommendation.
- It will not exchange links with another site for the purpose of ranking.
