About the team
The Small Talk Editorial Team
Every word, fact, quote and article on Small Talk is written and reviewed by our in-house editorial team. No AI-only publishing, no fake bylines, no ghost contributors.
Who we are
Small Talk is published by Small Talk Group Ltd. The editorial team is a small group of writers, editors, and fact-checkers based in the UK who share one job: publish one word, one fact, and one quote every day — each one worth reading.
Rather than personal bylines, we publish under a single team credit. Every piece has been read by more than one editor before it goes out, so the "Small Talk Editorial Team" credit reflects the workflow, not marketing.
Our standards
Sourced, not spun
Every fact is cross-referenced against high-authority sources — encyclopaedias, peer-reviewed journals, and established publications. If we can't source it, we don't publish it.
British English, plain language
We write in British English and keep sentences short. No hype, no filler, no "in today's fast-paced world".
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we fix it and note the change. Spot an error? Tell us.
Independent of advertisers
Small Talk carries no third-party advertising and takes no sponsorship. Nothing you read here has been paid for.
