Sources and corrections
Editorial policy
How Novel Aloud proposes, validates, approves, publishes and corrects story guidance.
Facts first
Catalogue facts such as titles, chapters, authors and genres come from a versioned catalogue feed. Story guidance is assembled by fixed rules from those facts. No AI writes it.
No silent publication
Story guidance (the introduction, why listen, who it suits and the FAQs) assembled by our rules stays a draft until it passes validation and a person approves it. Rejection and rollback retain an audit record.
Corrections
When a catalogue fact is wrong, we correct it at the source. Chapter counts, audio availability and listening time update here within minutes; story guidance picks up the correction when it is next published. Editorial copy keeps source hashes, version history and a last-updated time.
