Disclaimers
This page explains what our analyses, reports, AI-assisted outputs, and editorial guidance can and cannot promise. Please read it carefully — it sets the realistic expectations under which we operate.
1. Editorial and creative judgment is advisory
Our editorial team and our platform tools provide guidance based on our experience, our proprietary publisher-profiling systems, market data we believe to be reliable, and the information you give us. None of our outputs are guarantees of commercial success, critical reception, sales performance, or publication.
2. AI-assisted outputs
Several features of our platform — including the Ideation Studio, the Architect Studio, and the Opportunity Snapshot Engine — use large-language-model technology to generate analyses, outlines, and reports. AI-generated content can:
- Misinterpret information you provide.
- Reflect outdated or incomplete training data.
- Produce confident-sounding statements that are nonetheless inaccurate or misleading (sometimes called “hallucinations”).
- Reflect biases inherent in their training data.
Use professional judgment, common sense, and where appropriate independent verification before relying on any AI-generated output. The Architect Studio and Ideation Studio are decision-support tools, not substitutes for legal, financial, or tax advice.
3. Market data and comparables
Our reports may reference market signals, comparable book performance, audience-size estimates, revenue ceilings, competitive density, and similar metrics. These are derived from publicly available market data retrieved through our proprietary process and specialist third-party data providers, and from modeled estimates based on our editorial frameworks. They are:
- Snapshots in time — the underlying market changes constantly.
- Modeled estimates — individual book outcomes vary widely.
- Subject to source-availability — sometimes a portion of the report is generated from our proprietary frameworks rather than the live market feed, in which case we mark the affected metrics accordingly.
We do not warrant the completeness, accuracy, or current relevance of any third-party data referenced in our reports.
4. No financial, legal, or professional advice
Nothing on this platform is intended as, and nothing should be relied on as:
- Legal advice (including copyright, contract, or publishing-rights advice).
- Tax or accounting advice.
- Financial-investment advice.
- Literary-agent advice.
Please consult qualified professionals for advice on your specific circumstances. We are happy to discuss what kinds of advisors may be appropriate for your situation, but we do not act as your lawyer, accountant, agent, or financial advisor.
5. No guarantee of publication
Engaging with TJH — whether through a free submission, an Ideation Studio program, the Architect Studio, or any custom engagement — does not guarantee that we or any other publisher will publish, represent, distribute, or commercialize your work. Any publishing relationship is governed by a separate written agreement.
6. Income and revenue projections
Where our reports include revenue ceilings, audience-size estimates, or other commercial figures, those numbers describe possibilities under various conditions, not promises. Your actual results will depend on factors including manuscript quality, marketing investment, market timing, distribution channels, and many things outside anyone's control.
7. Third-party content and links
Our platform may reference, link to, or display third-party content. We do not endorse, control, or accept responsibility for the content, accuracy, or terms of any third-party material.
8. Testimonials and case studies
Any testimonials or case studies we publish describe individual experiences and are not guarantees of similar results. Past outcomes do not predict future outcomes.
9. Reservation of editorial discretion
We reserve the editorial discretion to decide which manuscripts we develop, publish, decline, or withdraw from active consideration. Our editorial decisions are not subject to appeal except as expressly set out in your engagement agreement.
10. Operational disclaimers
- We use commercial efforts to keep the platform secure, but no system is perfectly secure.
- We use commercial efforts to keep the platform available, but downtime can occur.
- Software bugs and AI tool errors may occasionally affect outputs. Please report any issue you spot to [email protected] and we will investigate.
11. Limitation of liability
Limitations of liability are set out in detail in our Terms of Use and our Terms of Service. Those limitations apply to any reliance on this Disclaimers page.
