How to Reach the Editorial Office

We welcome thoughtful correspondence from readers, researchers, and rights holders. Your observations help us maintain a reliable catalogue of public-domain literature. Below are the most useful reasons to write, along with guidance on what to include so that we can address your message efficiently.

When You Should Contact Us

• Metadata corrections – If you notice an incorrect author name, title, publication date, or category placement (for example, a maritime adventure listed under exploration, or a romance filed in the wrong thematic section).
• File or reading issues – Unreadable or corrupted files, missing illustrations, garbled text, or problems with a specific format (EPUB, PDF, Kindle, etc.) on a particular device or browser.
• Accessibility concerns – Poor contrast, missing alt text, inadequate heading structure, or other barriers that affect screen readers or assistive technologies.
• Privacy questions – Inquiries about how we handle personal data, cookies, or any information you may have submitted.
• Copyright or rights concerns – If you believe a work is not in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you hold rights to a text or derivative and wish to discuss its presence here.
• General editorial observations – Suggestions for new categories, corrections to reading notes, or other thoughtful feedback.

What to Include in Your Message

To help us act quickly, please provide as many of the following details as are relevant:

• The exact page URL where the issue appears.
• The full title of the ebook and, if known, the author.
• The file format you tried (e.g., EPUB, PDF, MOBI, TXT).
• Your device model, operating system, and browser (including version).
• A clear description of the observed problem: what you expected, what happened instead, and any error messages.
• If the matter involves copyright or rights, any supporting documentation or jurisdiction information.

Editorial Contact

Please direct all correspondence to our manuscript reviewer:

Agatha AtwoodManuscript [email protected]

Agatha reviews source editions, catalogue metadata, and thematic relevance for works such as The Stolen Statesman: Being the Story of a Hushed Up Mystery, Dead Man's Love, The Second Fiddle, The Hallowell Partnership, and many others across our categories, including Exploration & Survival, Maritime Adventures, and England London Nineteenth Century Fiction.

Our Response Approach

We read every message carefully and aim to reply as soon as we are able. Because we are a small independent operation, we cannot guarantee a specific response time, but we treat each report with the attention it deserves.

Before You Write

For common questions, you may find a quicker answer by reviewing our catalogue pages. If you are unsure about the public-domain status of a particular work, consider consulting the copyright office or legal resources in your jurisdiction. Our editorial team can offer general guidance but cannot provide legal advice.

If you are a rights holder and wish to request removal of a work, please include your full name, the specific work in question, and a statement of your claimed rights. We will review your request promptly and respond with our decision.

For accessibility feedback, describing the assistive technology you use (such as screen reader model or browser extensions) helps us reproduce and address the issue more effectively.

Thank you for helping us keep the Public Domain Literature Library a reliable resource for readers everywhere.
