FLUID:

This category of publication is far from personal to PabPub but allows free and frictionless relationship between the author and the publisher.

• PabPub will not have reasonable extent of claim whatsoever to the book and will not make extra demands of the author.


• PabPub will treat such books with least attention in terms of investment and promotion (and including other instances that may be implied)


• The book will be published for free, with its main intention being for reaching readers with no profit sense. However the book may be sold if the author desires this and states so explicitly on submission or an email after submission. The price for which the book will be sold for may not be exactly as desired by the author.


• The book will remain part of PabPub for a minimum of 55 days before the author can make any request that changes the state of its use, including taking it off the platform (and including other instances that may be implied).


• The author is expected to provide any extra resources such as cover arts, videos, links to external stores for their book if they desire to. It is required that any resource provided by the author for use is one that they have the complete legal right to use.
