Independent Publishers Certification Reviews

Opportunity Description

International Deadline: Ongoing –  Point Pleasant Publishing announces a new initiative which reviews public publishers or publications that are ‘independent’; meeting a standard of writing and published content free of artificial intelligence. This includes no editing or proofreading with artificial intelligence.

We believe independence in publishing means human-authored writing, independent distribution, and convictions in freedom of speech and freedom of expression. Independent publishers play a critical role in society as they almost in all cases are the only ones publishing speech deemed to be unpopular or non-commercially viable. As a result, independent publishers are vital to our communities, our nation, and the world in maintaining freedom of speech and freedom of expression, by allowing minority voices and ideas to be heard and recognized. Certified Independent Publishers is a civil rights organization dedicated to verifying authentic independence in publishing.

CRITERIA
Criteria for becoming a Certified Independent Publisher:

  • 100% of your writing and published content must be free of artificial intelligence. This includes no editing or proofreading with artificial intelligence.
  • Cannot use artificial intelligence to design your promotional materials or publication designs.
  • You must be a print-on-demand publisher or publication. Online-only publications also qualify. No brick-and-mortar publishing houses can qualify as they censor content by omission and prioritize commercially-viable content.
  • Your publisher or publication believes in the concepts of freedom of speech and freedom of expression.

FEES
Zero Fees. No Membership Dues.
