Totally The Bomb has been sharing interesting finds, food news, local adventures, and opinions since 2006. Here’s how we choose stories, check the details, and handle questions about what we publish.
Who’s behind Totally The Bomb
I’m Jamie Slack, the founder, owner, and publisher of Totally The Bomb. I set the site’s editorial standards and oversee how it operates. Our stories include my own writing, contributor work, and articles produced with AI tools under those standards.
How we choose and check stories
We cover things that are genuinely interesting, useful, delightful, or worth talking about. A press release may alert us to a story, but it is a source—not finished copy. We do not promise coverage simply because a brand, venue, or publicist gets in touch.
First-person stories identify what Jamie or a contributor actually experienced. News and preview stories are based on official information and other clearly attributable sources. We do not claim to have attended, tasted, tested, or stayed somewhere when we have not.
Hosted experiences and review products
We may accept complimentary admission, media credentials, meals, products, travel, lodging, or other access when it helps us report a relevant story. That access does not guarantee publication, positive coverage, or control over the final editorial opinion. When complimentary access is material to a reader’s understanding, we disclose it.
How the site earns money
Totally The Bomb earns revenue from advertising, affiliate links, and paid content partnerships. If you buy through an affiliate link, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

Accuracy and corrections
We verify names, dates, locations, prices, and other factual claims against reliable sources. Prices, availability, schedules, and product details can change; time-sensitive stories are dated and updated when practical. If something is factually wrong, please let us know. We will review it and correct it promptly when a correction is warranted.
How we use AI
AI tools help us research, draft, check, and produce articles. Some stories are published automatically under editorial rules I set. Factual claims must be checked against sources before publication. We do not use AI to invent firsthand experience, quotations, testing, or sources.
Questions or corrections?
Spotted an error or have a question about a story? Email Jamie with the article link, the detail you’re asking about, and a source if you have one. We’ll review it and correct confirmed errors.
Paid Content & Brand Partnerships
Want to work with Totally The Bomb? We welcome paid content inquiries from brands, agencies, and publishers. Tell us about your brand, what you’d like to publish, and your timeline so we can discuss availability and pricing.
