Editorial Policy

At Postcards to Swing States, I’m committed to providing accurate, engaging, and reliable content about Michigan.

My mission is to showcase the beauty, culture, and experiences of the Great Lakes State through thoughtful and well-researched blog posts.

Here’s how I, Sean McDowell, approach creating and sharing content:

1. Authenticity Above All

I write from personal experience whenever possible. Every guide, review, or story is based on my own adventures and insights. If I share recommendations, you can trust they come from a genuine love for Michigan and its unique offerings.

2. Thorough Research

When I cover topics beyond my firsthand knowledge, I dig deep to ensure the information is accurate and up-to-date. I rely on credible sources and local expertise to provide content you can trust.

3. Transparency

If a post includes collaborations, sponsorships, or affiliate links, I’ll always let you know. My primary goal is to maintain your trust, and I only recommend what aligns with the values and purpose of this blog.

4. Respect for the Community

I strive to represent Michigan’s people, businesses, and culture with respect and care. If you ever feel a post doesn’t reflect this commitment, please reach out—I’m always open to feedback.

5. Continuous Improvement

This blog is a labor of love, and I’m constantly learning and evolving. If there are ways I can improve or topics you’d like me to cover, I’d be thrilled to hear from you.
