Publishing Terms & Copyright

Terms of Use & Author Rights

Last Updated: October 2026

1. Author Copyright & Attribution

Authors and contributors retain full copyright and ownership of all books, excerpts, essays, stories, and reviews submitted to Literary Voices Network. By submitting content for publication, you grant LVN a non-exclusive license to display your approved listing or article with explicit attribution to your LVN author profile.

2. Separation of Book Listing Approval & Manuscript Distribution

Approval of a book listing in the LVN Book Directory displays your cover image, bibliographic metadata, short excerpt, and retailer purchase links. Full-manuscript digital distribution is never enabled without separate, explicit authorization.

3. Editorial Moderation Standards

LVN editors reserve the right to request revisions, schedule publication dates, or decline submissions that do not meet our bibliographic or literary standards.
