Content Guidelines for Casover Publishing
Introduction
Welcome to Casover Publishing! Our goal is to provide a platform for authors and publishers to share their work with the world while maintaining high standards of quality and respect for all readers. The following guidelines are designed to ensure that all content published on our website is appropriate, respectful, and of high quality.
Acceptable Content
- General Content: All submitted works should be original, well-written, and thoroughly edited. Plagiarism is strictly prohibited.
- Formatting: Submissions must adhere to our formatting standards, which include using a readable font size and style, proper paragraph spacing, and clear headings.
- Imagery: Images included in publications should be high-quality and relevant to the content. Explicit imagery is not allowed.
Prohibited Content
- Hate Speech and Offensive Content: We do not publish content that promotes hate speech, violence, or discrimination against individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or any other characteristic.
- Adult Content: Explicit sexual content is not permitted. Romance or erotica literature must be tastefully written and appropriately labeled.
- Illegal and Infringing Content: Content that promotes illegal activities or infringes on the intellectual property rights of others will not be accepted.
Compliance and Enforcement
- Review Process: All submissions will undergo a review process to ensure compliance with our guidelines. Casover Publishing reserves the right to reject any content that does not meet our standards.
- Revisions: If your content is rejected, you may revise and resubmit it for consideration. Please refer to our feedback for specific areas of concern.
- Appeals: Authors and publishers have the right to appeal content rejections by providing additional context or information to justify the publication.
Our content guidelines are designed to foster a diverse, respectful, and creative publishing environment. We encourage all authors and publishers to review these guidelines carefully before submitting content for publication on Casover's platform. Together, we can ensure that our website remains a space for high-quality, engaging, and respectful content.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Content (Text, Images, or Translations)
When you submit a new book or revise and republish an existing book through Casover Publishing, we require disclosure of any AI-generated content (including text, images, or translations). This includes cover and interior images or artwork. However, you are not required to disclose AI-assisted content. We distinguish between:
AI-generated and AI-assisted content as follows:
- AI-generated: This term refers to content—whether text, images, or translations—created by an AI-based tool. If such a tool was used to create the actual content, it is considered "AI-generated," even if you made substantial edits afterwards.
- AI-assisted: If you created the content yourself and used AI-based tools to edit, refine, error-check, or improve that content, it is categorised as "AI-assisted" rather than "AI-generated." If you used an AI-based tool to brainstorm and generate ideas, but the actual creation was done by you, this also falls under "AI-assisted" and not "AI-generated." There's no need to inform us about the use of such tools or processes.
You are responsible for ensuring that all AI-generated and/or AI-assisted content complies with all content guidelines, including applicable intellectual property rights.
