The Ethical Charter

We do not invent your book.
We draft only from what you actually said.

BookRealm is built on a refusal — a refusal to fabricate authorship, impersonate voice, or generate content the author never produced. These six principles are not marketing copy. They are product constraints, audited at every layer of the stack.

01

Grounded in what you actually said

Every chapter paragraph, outline beat, and quote comes from a real Author Session recording, transcript, or document you provided. Atlas does not invent stories, fill in gaps from training data, or paraphrase beyond the source. If we don't have it, we ask you for it.

02

Author-owned manuscript

Your manuscript, transcripts, and recordings are yours. You own the copyright. You can export the full book — outline, chapters, source transcripts — at any time, in standard formats your editor or publisher already uses.

03

Source-linked drafting

Every drafted passage links back to the exact Author Session, date, and timestamp it came from. No black-box generation. No mystery sources. You can audit any sentence back to the moment you said it.

04

No fabricated voice

We refuse to invent stories you never told, opinions you never expressed, or frameworks you never described. Atlas drafts in your voice — not in a voice it imagines for you.

05

Private by default

Your recordings, transcripts, and manuscript are encrypted at rest and in transit. They are never used to train external models. They are not licensed, sold, or repurposed. Your book exists for one author — you.

06

Author-controlled sharing

Collaborator access — editors, ghostwriters, agents, publishers — is explicit, revocable, and auditable. You decide who reads which chapters and at what stage. The manuscript belongs to the author, not to us.

Authorship Policy

Who actually writes the book

Does AI write my book?

No. Atlas interviews you, transcribes your Author Sessions, and drafts chapters directly from your own words. You review, revise, and approve every passage. The book is authored by you — Atlas is the interviewer, structurer, and drafter, not the author.

Who owns the copyright?

You do. BookRealm claims no ownership of your manuscript, transcripts, recordings, or derivative assets. You can publish independently, with an agent, or with a traditional publisher — without asking us.

Can Atlas invent content I didn't say?

No. Atlas is constrained to draft only from your Author Sessions, uploaded documents, and approved source material. When a chapter needs more, Atlas schedules another interview rather than inventing the missing piece.

What happens to my voice sample?

Your voice sample is used only for transcript speaker identification and — with explicit consent — for narrating audiobook chapters from your own approved manuscript. It is never available to third parties or used for synthesis outside your project.

"The book belongs to the author who lived it.
Our job is to help them finish it."
