Disclaimer

What we promise, what we cannot promise, and how paid promotion, editorial work and community reviews stay separate at BookNest Collective.

Last updated 2 September 2026

01

General information

BookNest Collective is a reader community and author promotion platform. Everything published on this site is provided for general information and enjoyment. While we work hard to keep book details, event dates and author information accurate and current, we make no warranty that every detail is complete or free of error at all times.

Session dates, spotlight schedules and featured titles can change. Where a date matters to you, please confirm with us through the contact page before making plans around it.

02

Paid author services

Some features on this site, including press releases, permanent interview features, brand coherence audits and spotlight sessions, are paid services purchased by authors or their representatives. Where a feature exists because an author engaged us, that relationship is disclosed on the page itself or is evident from the service context.

Paying for a service secures the work described in that package. It does not buy a guaranteed sales figure, review count, ranking or media pickup. Publishing outcomes depend on the book, the market and the reader, and no honest promoter can promise otherwise.

03

Editorial independence

Newsroom reporting, journal essays and community discussions are written independently of any paid arrangement. Our editorial desk is not obliged to cover a title because it was promoted, and paid clients do not review or approve editorial copy before publication.

Opinions expressed by community members, guest contributors and interviewed authors are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of BookNest Collective.

04

Reviews and ratings

Ratings and reviews shown on book pages are contributed by community members. We moderate for abuse and spam, but we do not edit opinions and we do not remove a review simply because it is unfavourable. We never sell, trade or fabricate reviews.

05

Awards and honours

BookNest awards, including the Author Excellence Award and induction into the Legacy Discovery Collection, are community and editorial honours conferred by BookNest Collective. They are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or equivalent to any national or industry literary prize.

06

External links and third party content

This site links to publishers, retailers, author websites and news outlets we do not control. We are not responsible for the content, availability, pricing or privacy practices of those sites. A link is not an endorsement of everything a third party publishes.

07

Copyright and fair use

Book covers, author photographs and event banners remain the property of their respective owners and appear here for identification, review and promotion of the works discussed. If you hold rights to material published on this site and would like it credited differently or removed, contact us and we will act promptly.

08

No professional advice

Content on this site, including memoir and health related titles discussed in our sessions, is not medical, legal, financial or professional advice. Always consult a qualified professional for your own situation.

09

Contact

Questions about anything on this page, or a correction request, can be sent through our contact page. We answer every message about accuracy, credit and takedown.
