Submit

Inclusion in the catalog happens by email. There is no form, no account, no fee.

Write to contact [at] maschinenschrift [dot] com and include:

  1. Title of the work.
  2. At least one platform where the published EPUB or printed book is publicly findable (Amazon, Apple Books, your publisher’s catalog, your own site — any verifiable listing).
  3. Confirmation that the seal is visibly placed on the work itself, with the declared W/G/B values. State where the seal sits (cover, title page, colophon, about page, footer).

No links to the work are followed from the email. Verification happens by searching for the title independently on the named platform.

If the entry is consistent with the declaration and the seal is present, the work is added to the registry. Replies are not guaranteed; absence of a reply is not refusal.

What is checked

  • The work is findable under the named title on the named platform.
  • The seal is visible on the work in the values you declared.
  • The declaration is internally consistent.

What is not checked: literary quality, commercial standing, the truth of factual claims in the work itself, the accuracy of the W/G/B assessment beyond plausibility.

What an entry does not imply

  • No quality claim.
  • No publishing relationship.
  • No exclusion from other catalogs.
  • No commitment for future works by the same author.
