No-Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy

Effective Date: 26 September 2026
Scope: Applies to all submitted manuscripts, cover art, interior illustrations, promotional copy, and editorial work.

Our Core Commitment

At The Creative Bunch Ltd, we believe that great literature, art, and storytelling require human experience, emotion, and craft. We are dedicated to protecting the rights of human authors and creators. Therefore, we maintain a strict policy regarding the use of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in our catalog.

Definition of Restricted AI

For this policy, "Generative AI" refers to machine-learning models (such as LLMs, image generators, and automated text/art tools) trained on vast datasets to generate text, code, translations, or visual art. This does not include standard digital tools like basic spellcheckers, grammar utilities (e.g., standard Grammarly features), or conventional layout software.

Guidelines for Authors and Contributors

Original Human Authorship: All submitted works—including fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and academic texts—must be written by human authors. We do not accept manuscripts, proposals, or book drafts generated wholly or in significant part by generative AI tools.
Prohibited Uses: Authors may not use AI tools to generate narrative prose, dialogue, character concepts, structural plotlines, or final book text.
Permitted Assistance: Minor use of AI for administrative brainstorming or organizational tasks may be acceptable, but all creative execution must remain strictly human. If you have questions about specific assistive tools, consult your editor prior to submission.
Cover Art and Design: All book covers, interior graphics, and promotional imagery must be created by human artists and designers. We do not accept AI-generated artwork
Mandatory Disclosure: Authors and illustrators must disclose any digital or assistive tools used during the creation process if they fall outside standard editing software.

We actively employ technical blocks and legal notices to protect our authors' intellectual property from unauthorised web scraping and data harvesting.
