To provide editing and book design services, our team needs access to some important files, including manuscripts. Although our team needs to access them, these files belong to you, the author, and we believe you should have control over them. Learn about file privacy and our safeguards for protecting authors’ manuscripts.
You can view, download, and delete your uploaded files at any time through your account settings. Follow the instructions below to learn how.
