Worlds Within Reach: Submission Terms and Conditions

By submitting your work to Worlds Within Reach (“we,” “us,” “our”), you agree to the following terms and conditions:

1. No Guarantee of Review or Response

Submission of a story, illustration, idea, or concept does not guarantee that it will be reviewed, acknowledged, published, or responded to. Due to the volume of submissions, we may not be able to provide individualized feedback or updates on the status of your submission.

2. No Compensation

Submission does not entitle you to compensation of any kind, monetary or otherwise, unless explicitly agreed upon in writing. Submissions are considered voluntary unless a separate agreement is made.

3. Ownership and Rights

You retain ownership of your submitted work. By submitting, you grant Worlds Within Reach a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to review your work internally and, if selected, to contact you regarding possible publication opportunities under separate agreement. No rights are transferred to Worlds Within Reach without a formal written agreement.

4. Original Work

By submitting, you affirm that the work you are providing is your original creation, that you have the right to submit it, and that it does not infringe on any third party’s rights, including copyright, trademark, privacy, or publicity rights.

5. Limitation of Liability

Worlds Within Reach is not responsible for any loss, damage, or other liability arising from your submission, including but not limited to any perceived loss of opportunity, breach of confidentiality, or similarities to works we may independently develop or receive from other sources.

6. Submission Modifications or Withdrawals

You may request to withdraw your submission at any time by contacting us in writing. We reserve the right to remove or reject any submission at our sole discretion.

7. Updates to Terms

We may update these Terms and Conditions at any time without prior notice. The version posted on our website at the time of your submission will govern that submission.
