Confidentiality Statement
Your work stays yours. Here's exactly what that means.
1. Your work is yours
Everything you share with Write It Great — ideas, one-pagers, proposals, manuscripts, story examples, anything you upload — remains your intellectual property. Submitting it to us transfers no rights, no ownership, and no exclusivity. It's your work before you hit submit, and it's your work after.
2. How we use what you share
We use your submission for one purpose: to evaluate working together. That means reading it, running our evaluation tools on it, and discussing it internally so we can give you honest feedback and decide whether we're the right team for your book. Not all of it goes through those tools — story examples you send us are read by people here and are kept out of our AI tools entirely. We don't use your material for anything else.
3. Who sees it
Your submission is visible to the Write It Great team. We don't publish it, post it, or pass it around. The exceptions both follow a decision on our side to champion your book, and both require a signed agency agreement with you: we list the book — its title, a short summary, its categories and which rights are available — in a catalogue that publishers with a verified account can browse, and we share the full proposal with individual publishing editors when we pitch it to them. Listing a book is how editors find it; the full proposal still goes out one editor at a time, on our decision. Neither happens as a side effect of simply submitting, and neither happens before you have signed with us.
4. What you upload, and how long we keep it
Some steps ask you to type material straight into your account, or to upload a document instead — story examples, notes, a draft. Whichever way it arrives, it is stored on our systems alongside the rest of your work, where our team can read it. We keep it while your account is open, because it is the record of what you sent us and what we said back. Ask us to close your account and it goes with it. Everything above still applies to it: it is yours, it stays inside our team on the terms in section 3, and sending it commits neither of us to anything.
5. No obligation — and this isn't a contract
This statement is an explanation of how we treat your material, not a contract, and acknowledging it is not signing anything. Submitting your work creates no obligation for you and none for us: you're free to send your book anywhere else at any time, and neither of us owes the other anything until we both choose to work together in writing.
6. Questions
If anything here is unclear, or you'd like to talk it through before submitting, email us at [email protected]. We'd rather answer a question than have you hold back your best idea.
