Contact the Editor

We welcome reader reports that help us improve the catalogue. The best way to reach us is by emailing editor@liwoi.com, where George Hardy, the Literary Critic who oversees our publication pipeline, reads every message.

When to Write

You may wish to contact us about:

• Metadata corrections — an incorrect author name, a misspelled title, or a book placed in the wrong category (for example, a novel about the sea appearing under Machines Inventions Early Science Fiction rather than Fantasy Juvenile Worlds).
• File or reader issues — an ebook that will not open, displays garbled text, or fails on a particular device or browser.
• Accessibility problems — missing alt text for illustrations, poor contrast, or other barriers that make reading difficult.
• Copyright or rights concerns — if you believe a title in our catalogue is not in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you hold rights to a work we have listed.
• General editorial observations — suggestions for additional context, reading notes, or improvements to the presentation of a classic like Five Little Peppers in the Little Brown House or The Young Ship Builder.

What to Include

To help us act quickly, please provide as many of the following details as possible:

• The exact URL (web address) of the page where you noticed the issue.
• The full title of the ebook, such as Heedless Hetty or Won at Last.
• The file format you are using (EPUB, PDF, MOBI, or HTML).
• The device or browser and its version (e.g., Kindle Paperwhite 11th gen, Chrome 120, Safari on iOS).
• A clear description of the observed problem — what you expected and what actually happened.
• If your message concerns copyright, any supporting rights information you can share (such as the date and place of publication, or details about the author’s estate).

How We Handle Your Message

Every report is read and considered. We do not use automated replies, and we do not promise a response within a fixed time. Where we are able to verify and act on a report, we will make the correction or adjustment and may follow up if we need further information. Your email address will not be used for any other purpose or shared with third parties.

Privacy and Confidentiality

If you have questions about how your personal data is handled, or wish to request removal of any information you have sent, please indicate this clearly in your message. We treat all correspondence as confidential and will only use the details you provide to address the issue you raise.

Before You Write

If you are unsure whether a particular concern falls within our scope, feel free to write anyway. We prefer to receive a question that turns out to be unnecessary rather than miss a genuine issue. For general questions about public domain status, you may also wish to consult resources such as the public domain information pages maintained by university libraries, which offer jurisdiction-specific guidance. Our catalogue focuses on works we have determined to be in the public domain in the United States; readers in other countries should verify local copyright law.

Suggestions for New Additions

While we cannot guarantee that we will add a suggested title, we are always interested to hear about works that readers believe deserve a place in the catalogue. If you have a particular classic in mind — perhaps a lesser-known novel or a forgotten children’s series — please include a brief note about its significance and, if possible, a source for the text. We consider all suggestions during our editorial planning.

We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for helping us keep the catalogue accurate and accessible.
