AI Policy

Q: Can I use AI to write my novel?
A: No. We do not allow novels that were composed by AI.

Q: Can I use AI for brainstorming?
A: Yes. You can use AI to help you brainstorm ideas, but the final product must be written by you.

Q: What about Grammarly?
A: Yes, Grammarly and other style checkers are fine. Be careful with its suggestions, though. They're often not great.

Q: What about translation tools?
A: Yes, you can use translation tools to help you write in a language you're not fluent in. The final product must be written by you.

Q: Cover Art?
A: We recognise that it can be difficult to create cover art, and that this can present a major barrier for new authors trying to get their work out there. Human-made cover art is recommended, but not required.

Q: Will you sell my novel to AI companies so they can train new models?
A: Hard no. We will not sell your novel to AI companies. We will also do our best to prevent your work from ending up in training datasets.
