Please read this document very carefully, so there are no issues in the future regarding your rights and our conditions. If you have concerns about sending us your work and are not completely sure you want to to it, you can 1) discuss it openly with us and see if we can come to an understanding, or 2) simply avoid sending us your work.
In any case: we wish you all the best in being creative.
Please keep in mind that main goals of this endeavor are:
- Have fun sharing your work with others and building a fan base.
- Potentially make money. (We will explain monetization of your work in another space on this website.)
Having said that, here is what we propose:
1. You are the rightful owner of your original work. You may withdraw it at any time after it's published on our site.
2. If you do submit your work, we have the right to engage with it and possibly build on it. Any version of the work that results from our writing, revision, research, and translation belongs to us. You still own the original, but the ensuing drafts will be either joint ownership (if you work with us on it) or our sole ownership (if we are the ones revising, researching, and building off of it).
3. By submitting your text, you are agreeing to allow us to revise, alter, or build on it. That’s the point of this site: writers inspiring writers. If this is a problem for you, please do not submit.
4. So, what’s in it for you? If you submit work and we revise, edit, research, translate, and/or build on it, we will be focused on monetization, which means $$$ for you and for us. We will share about half of any profits made from your original work with you. By "you" we mean all of the authors whose work was used to make that profit. That applies as well to the texts we translated to other languages or modified to our liking – you will be considered contributors, and you will get your share.
5. If you decide to remove your original work from our site, you will be allowed to remove that item only. Work that has been altered by us will remain on the site.
6. Removing your original work from our site will not negate any payments you might receive as a result of revised, adapted, edited or translated work which we have sold.
7. When we have our prospective client we will:
- Inform you that your work is being considered as a part of sale to this client;
- Outline all the conditions and details related to this sale;
- Provide you with all the information after the deal is completed;
- Discuss specific arrangements as to how to deliver the corresponding share to you.
8. We are always open to discussion and suggestions for this site. We want everyone to have a positive empowering experience with us.
9. We do respect your authorship, however, we have our vision for this site. Please respect our rules or simply choose another site.
10. And the last but not the least. This site is free - for authors as well as for readers. At the same time we spend substantial time and efforts to make this site an interesting one, and potentially - a profitable one, for all participants. That is why we paid so much attention to explaining why we own copyrights to all our work. Having said that, we don't exclude a possibility of discussing with you selling our rights back to you, for the work, that was originated from the text you submitted. If it's something you want to discuss, please feel free to contact us.

Our rules are simple, but we are going to really enforce them. As they say: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
1. Spam and spammers are the plague of the Internet era. We are going to make our best effort to spare our site from this issue. Therefore even slightest attempts of spamming will not be tolerated. We are too busy to send you warnings. You will simply be banned from the site. So, if you are not sure about posting something that might be considered a spam, please check with us first.
2. There are some common principles of behaviour among civilized people: respect to each other, politeness, tolerance to opinions of others, etc. We expect you to behave accordingly.
3. This site is not a political platform. We also do not promote any of the world's religions. Obviously, we support a freedom of speech and a freedom of opinions, but it must not be a self-purpose of your work. Your essays should stay within a concrete topic, be that a fictional work or based on real facts or your life experiences.
4. The world in 21st century is very diverse, sometimes even too much so. In this multi-faceted world there are many "traditions" and "ideas", both coming from ancient times and those that got popular within the last few decades. We in no way are obliged to tolerate everything and anything. Our main principle is concise but powerful: "Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the more often and steadily we reflect upon them: the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me." And we thank Immanuel for allowing us to borrow it.
