Other Information For You To Be Aware Of:
Plagiarism: Trimaxx International
Publishers has a very strict Plagiarism policy. Not to mention a staff of
Bloodhounds in the Research department. If a manuscript is found to be a
complete instance of plagiarism, or contains parts of a plagiarized work, the
Author will be subject to legal actions by our Legal Department. Any and
all phrases, copyrighted or trademarked titles, names, comments, websites,
excerpts or studies, whether for a work of fiction or non-fiction must contain
proper citations. Omission of proper citations will disqualify your
manuscript for approval upon submission. (We recommend “The Chicago Manual of
Style” to learn proper MLA citation & formatting)
Breach
of Contract: All manuscripts
submitted must be original works and not previously published. If your
work/book is currently under contract with another publisher, please have the
correct documentation to show that you have been released from your contract.
And even though we do
Publish Erotica, we will not publish any manuscripts which depict or
glorify grossly extreme or unnecessary physical violence, rape, child
molestation or abuse, or racism. And we do not tolerate slander,
harassment, open hostility towards any gender, race, religion, disability
(whether physical or mental), political views, sexual or gender identity.
Should your work have
content that deals with child abuse, domestic violence or rape, please be
sensitive of your reading audience. Not all survivors are healed
survivors, and not everyone has dealt with the traumatic instances of their
childhood, or in some cases, adulthood.
Trimaxx International
Publishers adheres to strict Publishing Law:
Any manuscript
material that might present a legal issue, or is of some concern that it may
present a legal problem will be reported to the Publisher before the Editorial
process begins. You will be notified of content that may be problematic
or cause legal action again you as the Author, or Trimaxx International
Publishers, as the Publisher.
The following are
instances which would cause a manuscript to be flagged and reported to the
Publisher for consideration:
Libel:
Publishing false, insulting, offensive, slanderous, or derogatory statements
about a living person. (Although defamatory statements about public
officials as well as celebrities is subject to a different standard altogether;
meaning, if you are purposely stirring up controversy in your work.
In this case, you must write a complete explanatory letter to be presented to
the author in reference to your manuscript so that the Publisher may consider
your stance.)
Invasion of Privacy: Using words, phrases,
commentary of any type, or images for commercial publicity reasons without
the subject’s permission is known as commercial misappropriation and is not
tolerated by Trimaxx International Publishers.
Obscenity: If your material has no redeeming literary or artistic
qualities, and is offensive, extremely profane, or steps over the bounds of
racism, gender, political or scientific values or beliefs, it may be a legal
issue and will be flagged accordingly and sent to the Publisher for approval or
disapproval.
Copyright Infringement: Save your name, your integrity, and your character.
Just don’t do it. But we will give you the rundown anyway.
Unless you provide us
with a Permission to Reprint from the original Author of any phrase, text, or
full work, you may not use it.
Any works used,
whether a sentence, phrase or quotation; must be accompanied by proper
citations. Any work that exceeds fair use will be discussed with
the Publisher, and the Author will be contacted to discuss omitting the
information.
