To maintain the quality and authenticity of our published interviews, we follow strict editorial guidelines. Please read the following rules carefully before submitting your interview:
To ensure that every published interview reflects the highest standards of quality, authenticity, and professionalism, we request all participating authors to carefully follow the editorial guidelines outlined below. These guidelines are designed to maintain the integrity of our platform, uphold editorial consistency, and provide a meaningful reading experience for our audience.
Your thoughtful, honest, and original responses not only represent your voice as an author but also contribute to a growing community of writers and readers who value genuine literary journeys. Please read the following instructions carefully before submitting your interview.
Authenticity & Identity Verification
– We only accept interview submissions from genuine authors with a verifiable writing background. Submissions must reflect real individuals who have written or published original literary work. Fake identities, misleading pseudonyms, or unverifiable author profiles will lead to immediate rejection.
– A recent, high-resolution photo of the author is mandatory. Images must be natural and unaltered, AI-generated portraits, stock photos, filters, face-smoothing, or excessive edits are strictly prohibited. The photo should clearly show your face without sunglasses, masks, or visual distractions.
– Authenticity is the foundation of our platform AuthorsWiki.com. We are committed to featuring real authors with real voices and genuine stories. Your profile and image should help readers connect with the person behind the words.
Originality of Responses
– All responses must be entirely original and written by the author in their own words. Submissions that include plagiarized content, copy-pasted material, or responses generated using AI tools (such as ChatGPT or similar software) are strictly prohibited.
– Any form of content dishonesty including ghostwriting or misrepresentation will lead to immediate rejection and may result in permanent disqualification from all future opportunities on AuthorsWiki.com. We follow a zero-tolerance policy in this regard.
– Your voice, your journey, and your words are what bring true value to this platform. We are committed to celebrating real authors with authentic stories, not manufactured content or promotional narratives.
Quality of Responses
– One-word, single-line, or vague answers will not be accepted. Submissions must demonstrate effort, clarity, and depth.
– Each response should be thoughtful and well-developed, ideally between 50–100 words (unless specified otherwise).
– Use this opportunity to share your real experiences, challenges, and creative journey, your authenticity is what adds value to the interview.
Language & Presentation
– Please ensure that all your responses are grammatically correct, well-structured, and written in clear, professional English. This helps us maintain the readability and overall quality of our published content.
– Our editorial team may make minor corrections to your responses, such as grammar, spelling, or formatting adjustments to improve clarity and consistency. However, we will always strive to preserve your original tone and message.
– Kindly avoid using slang, informal abbreviations (such as “u” instead of “you” or “btw” instead of “by the way”), and excessive emojis. The interview should maintain a professional yet approachable tone suitable for a public literary platform.
Avoid Promotional Content
– Interviews should not be used for self-promotion, direct selling, or advertising. This platform is meant to highlight your literary journey, not market products or services.
– Any response that resembles a sales pitch or promotional language will be edited or removed. Focus on sharing your experiences, values, and writing philosophy, not on promoting your books or brand.
– You may mention your book(s) in the designated section, along with a link to Amazon or other leading eCommerce platforms (such as Flipkart or Barnes & Noble). Personal websites, third-party listings, or downloadable links are not allowed. Please avoid repeating book details in every answer.
Review Process & Timeline
– Interview review and publication may take approximately 2–3 weeks, or longer depending on the number of submissions in the queue. We appreciate your patience during this process.
– Each submission is carefully and manually reviewed by our editorial team of AuthorsWiki.com to ensure it meets our standards of authenticity, clarity, relevance, and overall quality. Interviews that do not align with our guidelines will be disqualified without notice.
– If your interview is approved for publication, you will receive an official confirmation email along with a direct link to the published piece. Please note that we do not send emails for declined submissions.
