How we make chapters
All Branchwriter chapters might be generated with AI assistance and reviewed by a human author (Marek, the founder) before publication. Each chapter is written against a project-specific style guide and world bible, and is checked against the open web for verbatim seven-word phrases before it goes live. The check is a screen, not a guarantee — see limits below.
Limits of the screen
Our pre-publication check searches the openly indexed web. It does not have access to paywalled book corpora (Kindle Unlimited, KDP Select, Wattpad Premium, library archives, and similar). If a close paraphrase of a paywalled work ever slips through, our screen will not catch it; we rely on the process below.
If you believe a chapter paraphrases your work
Email dmca@read.engramia.dev with:
- The URL of the Branchwriter chapter in question.
- The source work — title, author, ISBN where applicable, or a public URL.
- The specific passages you believe overlap, side by side, so we can verify quickly.
- Your contact information, and a statement that you are the rights-holder or authorised to act on their behalf.
Our 48-hour response
We commit to:
- Acknowledge your message within 48 hours of receipt (business days; weekend messages start the clock Monday).
- Take the chapter offline within the same window while we investigate, if the overlap is plausible on its face.
- Refund any Patron alt-chapter purchases directly affected by a chapter we take down, on a pro-rata basis.
- Publish the outcome of the investigation back to you and, when the chapter is restored or permanently removed, update the chapter page accordingly.
Counter-notice
If you have reason to believe a removal was mistaken, you can reply to the same address with a counter-notice. Include the chapter URL, the specific reason you believe the removal was in error, and your contact information. We will weigh both sides before making a final decision.
Scope and updates
This policy applies to all chapters published on read.engramia.dev and to any chapter excerpts we distribute on third-party platforms. We may update this policy as our process changes; material updates will be dated below.
