TRUST AND TRANSPARENCY

Our AI policy

Authors are genuinely divided about AI, and platforms and copyright offices now ask direct questions about it. So we do not hide behind a slogan. We document what was used, where it was used, and what you approved.

Three production paths

You choose the path at the start of the project. It is written into your agreement and cannot be quietly changed later.

01
Human-authored
No generative AI is used in the manuscript.
You write, or we develop the text with human editors and writers only. AI is not used to draft, expand or rewrite any part of the book.
02
AI-assisted
You supply the knowledge and the writing; AI assists around the edges.
AI may be used for planning, structural analysis, research prompts or refinement suggestions. Every sentence that reaches the page is written or approved by you, then human-edited.
03
Expert-directed AI development
Your intellectual property, supervised AI drafting, substantial human development.
Material comes from interviews, recordings, talks, courses and existing content you own. AI assists with drafting from that material under editorial direction, followed by developmental editing, voice work and fact-checking.

The Evolve Authorship & Production Record

Every completed book gets a written record of how it was made. It documents the process rather than making an unprovable claim that a work is "AI-free".

  • Which production path was used, and where
  • Sources of the underlying material (interviews, talks, existing IP)
  • Human editorial stages completed and by whom
  • Fact-checking and citation review notes
  • What you reviewed and approved at each stage
  • The disclosure position taken with retail platforms

Disclosure and copyright

Retail platforms now distinguish between AI-generated and AI-assisted material, and some require disclosure at upload. We complete those declarations with you rather than for you, using the production record as the source of truth.

Copyright protection generally depends on meaningful human authorship. That is one of the reasons our AI-supported paths are built around your own material and are developed by human editors, not around a prompt and a download.

If you are unsure which path suits your project, that is exactly the sort of thing we work through in your Book Publishing Audit.
