What Personal Data Do We Collect from You?
We will ask for email address when you submit a story for publication. We will use that email address to contact you to inform you of annual royalties and if your work is selected for The Best of Book. If you wish to order copies of our books we ask for a snailmail address and telephone number, the latter so that the courier can reach you if need be.
We pay royalties via PayPal or bank transfer so at the point that we are ready to pay you we need your PayPal ID or bank details. Your email is deleted after that information has been processed.
You are invited to subscribe to monthly email form which you can unsubscribe at any moment. This tells you about our events, publications and gives general information about the performance of the magazine. Occasionally we send a “stop press” notice, for example if an event that was booked out suddenly has vacancies.
