Rules Regarding Sex, Violence, and Profanity in Submissions

The art of writing is the ability to convey a story to the reader in a way that fires the imagination. Explicit use of sex, violence, and profanity robs readers of the opportunity to use their imagination. A book of low quality that cannot engage the reader without the use of gratuitous sex, violence, or profanity will not be a better book with their inclusion.

Sex
WindRiver Publishing, Inc. does not publish works containing explicit descriptions of sexual behavior, intent or physiology. Project submissions and manuscripts that include sexually-biased scenes involving children in any way will be rejected. WindRiver Publishing does not publish erotic works of any kind.

Violence
WindRiver Publishing, Inc. does not publish works that gratuitously describe acts of violence. Scenes written with the intent to overtly sicken or disturb the reader due to the use of violence violate this rule. The publisher recognizes such a definition is often subjective and requests each submitter's patience as circumstances are evaluated.

Profanity
WindRiver Publishing, Inc. does not publish works that use gratuitous profanity. Language considered coarse by general social standards is discouraged.
