ATTENTION
Please read the below mentioned points carefully before publishing your work with us:
- Once published, we won’t remove your novel for any reason.
- A web special novel can only be replaced from the category of Web Special Novels to Regular Novels after one year from the date of publishing.
- If you’re publishing an ongoing novel with us, it’s important to inform us if you’re unable to share the next episode by the due date. Missing the due date twice in a row without prior notice will result in no further chances. However, if you inform us in advance, we can work things out! Communication is key!
- We hold the right to change the rules, strategies or plans at any given moment without a prior notice.
- We do not guarantee the publishing of your work if you share it at any other email address or via any other means.
- We won’t edit the title of your work or the name of the writer if you do not share it in the same email as the manuscript. However, if you have mistakenly shared the wrong spelling, we are open to edit and make the correction even after publishing.
- We do the promotion of each novel via our social accounts, however, we already have 400+ novels published on our website and more in line to go live. We expect you to understand the burden and do not rely on us for the promotion.
- We recommend you to explore the category and publishing guide for our Web Special Novels before publishing your novel into the regular category.
At Safar-e-Adab Publications, we believe every writer deserves a platform and every story deserves an audience. So, go ahead—share your work with us and let’s create literary magic together.
