Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about the Author or Book Database? Here are answers to the most common questions from readers and authors.

What does “Verified” mean in the Author Database?

Verified means the author has personally completed a form providing detailed information about their books. This includes content details such as physical intimacy levels, swearing, and potential trigger warnings.

If an author is not marked as Verified, it usually means they have not yet submitted their information. While many of these authors still write closed door or clean romance, readers should review their books individually to confirm they match their preferences.
