Your work stays yours.

Sharing it with us transfers nothing.

Everything you share with Write It Great — ideas, outlines, proposals, manuscripts, and anything else you send — remains your intellectual property. Submitting it to us doesn't transfer any right in it, and we don't claim any. If we later work together on ghostwriting, editing, or coaching, that work is work for hire: you own the result outright, and your name goes on the cover.

Screening, and nothing else.

We use your submission for one purpose: deciding, with you, whether working together makes sense. We read it, discuss it inside our team, and use it to prepare for your call. We don't recycle your ideas into other projects, and we don't quote or publish anything you've sent us without asking you first.

Our team. That's the list.

Your material is read by the Write It Great team and not shared outside the company. The one exception is the point of the work itself: if you engage us for literary representation, pitching your book to publishers is the job — and we only ever do that with you in the loop, as part of an engagement you've agreed to.

Nobody owes anybody anything yet.

Submitting creates no exclusivity and no obligation for either of us. You can take your work anywhere else, at any time, and we're never obliged to make an offer.

And to be completely clear: this page is an assurance statement — a description of how we behave — not a contract, and it isn't legal advice. Ticking the acknowledgement box on our forms records that you've read this page; it isn't a signature and it doesn't create an agreement between us. If we do end up working together, the actual engagement agreement will say all of this again, formally, before anything is owed in either direction.

Ask a human.

If anything here is unclear, or you'd like this in writing before you share something sensitive, email [email protected] and a person — not an autoresponder — will answer.
