How We Handle Your Information

Information We Collect

We may collect information you choose to provide when you contact us, submit a manuscript, request a publishing quote, order or pre-order a book, subscribe to updates, or take part in our author and publishing services.

• Contact details such as your name, email address, phone number, institution, and role.
• Publishing project details, manuscript files, author biographies, book descriptions, cover notes, and related materials.
• Order and inquiry details, including the book title, quantity, delivery preferences, and message content.
• Author quotes, testimonials, photos, and endorsement text, but only where you provide or approve them for publication.

How We Use Information

We use the information we receive to respond to inquiries, review publishing projects, prepare quotes, manage book orders, provide editing, design, printing, marketing, and distribution support, and communicate with authors or clients about their work.

Where an author, client, or contributor gives permission, we may use approved names, photographs, book details, quotes, testimonials, or excerpts for catalogue pages, promotional posts, launch announcements, and other publishing-related publicity.

Author Submissions and Manuscripts

Manuscripts, unpublished materials, project notes, and private publishing discussions are treated as confidential working materials. We do not publish, sell, or share unpublished author material publicly unless it is required to deliver the requested service or the author has approved publication or promotion.

Sharing Information

We may share necessary information with trusted service providers who help us deliver publishing services, such as editors, designers, printers, distributors, delivery partners, payment processors, email providers, or technical support providers. We share only what is reasonably needed for the service.

We may also disclose information where required by law, to protect our rights, to prevent fraud or misuse, or to respond to lawful requests from competent authorities.

Book Orders and Payments

When you order or pre-order books, we use your details to confirm the order, arrange payment follow-up, process delivery, and provide customer support. Payment information should only be shared through approved payment channels, and we do not ask you to send sensitive payment credentials through the website contact form.

Data Security and Retention

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal information and publishing materials. We keep information for as long as needed to respond to inquiries, provide services, maintain business records, meet legal obligations, and resolve disputes.

Your Choices

You may ask us to update, correct, remove, or stop using your personal information where applicable. You may also withdraw permission for future use of a quote, testimonial, image, or author promotional material, subject to records already printed, published, distributed, or legally retained.
