Contact the Editorial Team

We welcome thoughtful correspondence from readers, researchers, and rights holders. Your observations help us maintain the accuracy and usability of this independent catalogue.

When to write

You may wish to contact us for any of the following reasons:

• Metadata corrections — an incorrect title, author name, publication date, or category placement (e.g., a biography filed under Letters Recollections when it belongs in Biographies).
• File or reading issues — an ebook that fails to open, displays garbled text, is missing chapters, or causes your device or browser to crash.
• Accessibility problems — a file that is not compatible with screen readers, lacks semantic structure, or has poor contrast in the provided format.
• Privacy questions — concerns about how your personal data is handled when you browse or download from the site.
• Copyright or rights concerns — if you believe a work in our catalogue is not in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you hold rights to a text and wish to discuss its inclusion.
• General editorial observations — suggestions for additional context, missing background material, or other improvements to our reading companions and edition insights.

What to include in your message

To help us address your report efficiently, please provide as many of the following details as possible:

• The exact URL of the page where you encountered the issue.
• The full title of the ebook or reading companion.
• The file format you are using (EPUB, PDF, HTML, Kindle, etc.).
• The device, operating system, or browser version (e.g., iPadOS 17, Chrome 120).
• A clear description of the observed problem — what you expected and what actually happened.
• If the matter involves copyright or rights, any supporting information you are able to share (such as a publication date or known copyright status).

How to reach us

Please send all editorial correspondence to editor@cgree.com. This address is monitored by our acquisitions editor, Anne Conan, who oversees the publication pipeline for restored classic novels.

We read every message carefully. While we cannot guarantee a personal reply to every submission, we do review all reports and take them into account as we update the catalogue.

What happens after you write

When your message arrives, we log it and triage it based on the type of issue. Metadata corrections are typically reviewed in batches as we prepare updates to the catalogue. File and accessibility problems receive priority attention because they directly affect the reading experience. Copyright inquiries are handled individually, and we may request additional documentation before taking any action. We do not maintain a public timeline for responses, but every report informs our ongoing work.

Guidance on copyright queries

If you are writing about a copyright concern, please note that public-domain status varies by country and by the specific edition. A work may be in the public domain in one jurisdiction but not in another. We rely on the information available to us and encourage rights holders to reach out if they believe a title should not be listed. We will review the matter and, if appropriate, remove or restrict access to the work.

Suggestions for catalogue improvements

We also appreciate suggestions for new reading companions or edition insights. If you have expertise on a particular work — such as The Life of John Marshall or Julia Ward Howe — and would like to contribute a background note or correction, we welcome your input. Please include the specific title and your proposed addition.
