Key points: you keep 100% of the rights to your book; Zart is a non-exclusive publisher and distribution agent; nothing is published before you approve it; Zart’s team chooses the platforms for each book and no specific platform is guaranteed, as each platform decides on acceptance; your book stays published whether you renew or not.
