Contact the Editor
Public Domain Literature Library is a small independent catalogue, and every title you find here has been selected and prepared with care. We welcome your observations, questions, and corrections. The best way to reach us is by email, and we read every message that arrives.
When to Write
You may wish to contact the editor for any of the following reasons:
- Metadata corrections — if you notice an incorrect author name, a misspelled title, a wrong category placement (for example, a book listed under Sea Voyages Pirate Adventures that clearly belongs elsewhere), or a missing publication detail.
- If relevant, the Project Gutenberg source link associated with the ebook.
- Accessibility issues — if a file is not compatible with your screen reader, lacks proper heading structure, or has images without useful alternative text.
- Privacy or data questions — if you have a question about how we handle personal information, or if you would like to request removal of any data.
- Copyright or rights concerns — if you believe a title in our catalogue may not be in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you hold rights to a work and wish to discuss its inclusion.
- General editorial observations — thoughts on a particular edition, suggestions for new categories (such as Sailors, Pirates & Oceans or Science Fiction Utopias), or feedback on the reading experience of titles like Clue of the Silken Ladder or Marguerite de Valois.
What to Include in Your Message
To help us address your report quickly and accurately, please include as many of the following details as possible:
- The full URL of the page where you encountered the issue.
- The exact ebook title (e.g., Witch Winnie: The Story of a "King's Daughter" or The William Henry Letters).
- If relevant, the Project Gutenberg source link associated with the ebook.
- The device, operating system, and browser or reading application you were using.
- A clear description of the problem: what you expected, what happened instead, and any error messages you saw.
- If your message concerns copyright or rights, please include any supporting information you are able to share.
How to Reach Us
Please send all correspondence to [email protected]. This inbox is managed by The Editorial Team Atkoi, the Poetry Editor for the catalogue. While we cannot guarantee a response within a specific time frame, we do our best to reply to every thoughtful message.
What to Expect After You Write
When you send a message, you will receive an automated confirmation that it has been delivered. The editor reviews each submission personally, and if your report requires further investigation—such as verifying the public-domain status of a title like Three Young Ranchmen or checking a formatting issue in Hildegarde's Home—we may follow up with additional questions. For straightforward corrections, we aim to apply them in the next update cycle. For complex accessibility or copyright matters, we may need more time to consult relevant sources.
About Our Approach to Feedback
Every suggestion we receive is considered in the context of our overall catalogue. For instance, a proposal for a new category like Psychological Domestic Love Stories would be evaluated alongside existing sections such as Sea Voyages Pirate Adventures and Sailors, Pirates & Oceans. We value the perspectives of readers who have explored titles like The Red Mustang or Boys of The Fort, and your insights help us refine the way we present these works.
Thank you for helping us maintain a reliable and enjoyable collection of public-domain literature.
