Hello Authors,
We have recently updated our Terms & Conditions (Section 2 & 4) to provide better clarity regarding our manual promotion process and marketing workflows.
As many of you know, our core mission is providing reliable hosting and management tools for your ARCs. Beyond that, we often provide discretionary promotion for titles on our platform because we want to see our authors succeed. We've updated our terms to clarify that our team has creative discretion over these promotional designs so we can continue experimenting with the best ways to get your books in front of new readers.
What has changed? To help your books reach the widest possible audience, we have formalized our policy on Creative Discretion. This update clarifies that our design team retains the flexibility to experiment with different 3D mock-ups, templates, and thematic "hooks" that we believe—based on our marketing experience—will best attract readers to your ARC.
We’ve also added a reminder that our team relies heavily on the tags and metadata you provide to categorize your work. To ensure the best "tonal" match for your promotions, we encourage everyone to be as specific as possible with their sub-genre tags!
These changes help us stay agile and creative in how we fight for your book's visibility in a crowded market.

Happy writing,
The Pen Pinery Team
