This platform is driven by a deep respect for writers and the creative process. Every article, guide, and resource published here is written, edited, and curated by me—Alexander “Lex” Petrovich—with one purpose: to inform, support, and empower authors at every stage of their publishing journey.
Because I take that mission seriously, it’s important to be transparent about how content is created, what values guide that process, and how I ensure the information here remains trustworthy, relevant, and genuinely helpful.
This page outlines the editorial philosophy, the content standards, and the ethical boundaries that shape this site. If you’re a reader, collaborator, or simply curious about how and why this platform operates the way it does—this is where everything starts.
Core Editorial Values
The following principles are at the heart of every decision I make when publishing content:
- Clarity Over Complexity: I believe that good information should be understandable and usable. No unnecessary jargon, no vague generalities—just clear, practical advice.
- Honesty & Integrity: I never publish content that I wouldn’t personally rely on. If something is speculative, subjective, or still evolving, I make that clear.
- Accessibility for All Writers: This platform exists for writers of all levels, backgrounds, and budgets. Resources are written with empathy, not superiority.
- No Sponsored Bias: I do not publish sponsored posts, hidden partnerships, or product placements that compromise objectivity. If I recommend a tool or platform, it’s because I’ve personally tested and believe in its value.
- Respect for Your Time: No clickbait. No filler. If a piece of content doesn’t teach you something or help you make a decision, it doesn’t belong here.
Content Creation Process
All content is created in-house, meaning: every word is researched, written, and reviewed by me personally.
Research
I conduct in-depth research using a combination of:
- First-hand experience from my own publishing and writing projects
- Industry publications and trusted sources
- Feedback and questions from real authors in the community
Sources are cross-verified, and when quoting or referencing external material, proper attribution is provided.
Writing & Structure
Every article is written to answer a specific question or address a real need. The structure is built with usability in mind—clear subheadings, examples, summaries, and actionable steps.
Editing
Each piece goes through multiple rounds of review before publishing. I focus on:
- Accuracy
- Tone consistency
- Grammar and clarity
- Technical correctness (especially for guides and formatting tutorials)
Updates & Maintenance
Publishing is a living process. I revisit older articles regularly to ensure that outdated information is corrected or removed, especially when it comes to:
- Publishing platforms (like Amazon KDP or IngramSpark)
- Legal or contractual considerations
- Industry trends and tools
Affiliate Disclosure & Monetization
At this time, the platform operates independently of external advertisers or paid sponsorships. If affiliate links are ever used in the future, they will:
- Be clearly disclosed at the beginning of the article.
- Only point to tools or resources I’ve personally vetted and would recommend without compensation.
The goal is to maintain editorial independence and never allow revenue models to influence the substance or integrity of the content.
Inclusivity and Representation
This space is for all writers.
I am actively committed to making this platform inclusive and reflective of the rich diversity of voices in literature. This includes:
- Highlighting resources for writers from underrepresented communities
- Avoiding language that assumes a single cultural or industry perspective
- Listening to and incorporating reader feedback that improves representation
If you see something here that feels exclusionary or outdated, I welcome your thoughts. This is a collaborative space—even if the content is authored by one person.
AI Usage Policy
All content is written by a human (me). I do not use AI to generate articles, recommendations, or editorial decisions. While I may experiment with tools behind the scenes for idea generation or workflow improvement, every piece you read here is the result of my own research and voice.
Community and Reader Feedback
If you’re a reader, you’re a part of this editorial ecosystem. Your questions, corrections, and suggestions help make this platform better.
Have an idea for a guide? Think I missed something important? Feel something could be explained more clearly? Reach out. I read every message, and when appropriate, I’ll update the content or address your input directly.
Final Word
This platform is a work of passion, not profit.
It exists because I believe that writers deserve better: better tools, better advice, and better support. The editorial standards here aren’t about perfection—they’re about responsibility. If even one writer feels more capable, more confident, or more creatively alive after reading something here, then the standard has been met.
