Trust & security

Your story is safe here.

Authors share their lives, companies and ideas with us. These are the protections in every engagement.

CONFIDENTIALITY

NDA before you share anything

We can sign a mutual NDA before your first call. Every writer and editor is under confidentiality terms.

OWNERSHIP

Copyright assigned to you

Contracts assign full copyright to you or your company. Your name goes on the cover; credit for the writer is your choice.

ACCOUNTS

Your stores, your ad accounts

KDP, IngramSpark and Meta ad accounts are opened in your name. Royalties go straight to you.

DATA

Encrypted files, no training

Interviews and drafts are stored encrypted, shared only with your team, and never used to train AI systems.

AI POLICY

Disclosed, limited use

Software is used for transcription, research organisation and analytics only. Every word of your book is written by people.

PAYMENTS

Milestones, never upfront in full

Invoices come only from our billing system. We never ask for gift cards or transfers to personal accounts.

Scam warning

Impersonators target authors across the industry. Velmont only emails from addresses ending in @velmontbookpublishers.com. If you are unsure, forward the message to [email protected] before replying.
