Editorial Standards & Content Policy
TL;DR: Every article on this site is written to a published editorial standard: factual, sourced, proofread, and reviewed on a set cadence. This page explains how we write, fact-check, source, and update content — the standard behind everything we publish.
Our editorial standard
Harmony Publishing publishes practical, accurate guidance for Nigerian and African authors. We follow a fixed editorial process on every piece:
- Research first. Every article starts with current market data — real package prices, real industry facts, current-year figures. We do not publish from memory.
- Direct answers. Headings are written as the questions authors actually ask, and the answer comes first in each section.
- Fact-checked. Prices, royalties, timelines and platform details are verified against primary sources (company sites, official documentation, current listings) before publishing.
- Proofread. Every piece is reviewed for accuracy and clarity before it goes live.
- Sourced where it matters. Comparisons and price claims cite the underlying data or link to the primary source.
- Review cadence. Content is reviewed and refreshed on a regular cycle — year-dated prices and statistics are updated as the market changes (e.g., annual pricing guides).
- No fabrication. We never invent features, prices, reviews or testimonials. If we cannot verify a claim, it is not published.
How we keep content current
Publishing prices and platform rules change. Our editorial calendar includes a standing refresh cycle: high-traffic and money-topic pages are re-checked on a scheduled basis, and any page that references a year or a specific price carries a review expectation. If you spot something outdated, contact us and we will correct it.
Our sourcing policy
We cite and link to primary sources — official company pricing pages, platform documentation, and verifiable industry data — wherever a specific claim matters. Where we present our own package pricing, it is our own published pricing, shown transparently. We do not pass off unverified third-party claims as fact.
Who writes this content
Content is produced by our in-house publishing team — people who work in book production, editing, design and distribution every day. See our editorial team page for who we are and our experience. Harmony Publishing has published 1,000+ books for authors since 2016, and that hands-on production experience is what informs our guides.
Corrections policy
If a reader finds an error, we fix it promptly and transparently. Email [email protected] or use the site contact form and we will correct and re-publish.
