Publication policy
Editorial standards
How The Grimoire selects, edits, verifies, labels, approves, and updates its work.
- Accountable owner
- Travis DiPerna — Publisher and final editorial approver

Reader value comes first
We publish work that helps fantasy readers understand a book, creator, craft choice, reading experience, or part of the independent publishing world. A page must have a clear reader purpose beyond ranking for a phrase or selling an Everlore product.
Cheyenne Skye may review the writing and leave comments on unpublished drafts. Travis DiPerna alone gives final approval and publishes. Neither role may skip the required attribution, fact, rights, accessibility, disclosure, or correction controls.
Evidence and editing
Writers must distinguish observed fact, documented fact, analysis, opinion, and uncertainty. Quotations stay connected to their sources; material claims are checked against the strongest available primary source; and a draft remains unpublished when the evidence does not support it.
- Substantive editing tests the premise, evidence, structure, fairness, and reader value.
- Writing review tests clarity, continuity, tone, and whether the prose says what its evidence can support.
- Final approval checks the complete public page, byline, disclosures, links, media rights, accessibility, metadata, and correction path.
Independence and labels
Everlore Hollow owns and publishes The Grimoire. That relationship is prominent because some contributors also operate Everlore. House work, affiliate links, review copies, sponsorships, and other material relationships are labeled where a reasonable reader would need the context.
