What are the publishing guidelines?

2- It is preferable not to send more than one or two submissions per month.

3- Text abusing the use of automatic translation or Artificial Intelligence are not permitted.

Why was a text/book I submitted to the site rejected?

We are keen on publishing high-level literary works as much as we are keen on including the works of the largest number of writers. When more than one submission by the same writer is received within a short time, we tend to choose the work that most expresses the style of the writer from the editor's point of view.

Our editors are all seasoned writers each in their field. They are friends of arabworldbooks.com who volunteer their effort and time to review submissions. The submissions are sent to them with a code number instead of the writer's name. In our twenty five years online, our approach is to respect the editor's opinion regarding the suitability of any work for publication. That opinion does not represent a judgment upon the quality of the work, but rather about the extent to which it is in line with the artistic vision of the website and we wish all writers whether their work has been accepted or rejected all success.

What are your guidelines for adding e-books?

We value and take copyright very seriously. We do not welcome uploading books electronically to our website unless the author owns this right or has express permission from the publisher to upload it and make it available for reading.
