Information

What we collect

Information you submit may include your name, email, phone number, manuscript, synopsis, genre, publication status, rights confirmation, and messages to our team. Basic technical and security logs may also be processed to operate and protect the website.

Purpose

How we use it

We use submitted information to review distribution requests, evaluate title fit, respond to authors, operate the website, prevent misuse, and manage approved distribution work.

Manuscript files

Rejected manuscripts are retained for 30 days.

If our team rejects a manuscript, its stored file is scheduled for deletion within 30 days of rejection. Other records may be kept only as needed for communication, security, legal obligations, or an active distribution relationship.
