At Eleanor Whitlock, I believe in honesty and transparency with readers, and this statement explains how artificial intelligence (AI) tools may be used in connection with this website, creative projects, and related materials.
Use of AI-Assisted Tools
AI tools may occasionally be used as part of the wider creative and administrative process, including:
- Supporting website development, formatting, accessibility improvements, and general organisation.
- Assisting with brainstorming, research organisation, or exploring ideas during the planning stages of creative projects.
- Helping create or refine certain website elements, such as design concepts, decorative imagery, or promotional materials.
Any use of AI tools is intended to support the creative process and improve the reader experience. It does not replace the imagination, storytelling, editing, or creative decisions that shape Eleanor Whitlock’s work.
Written Work & Creative Ownership
All fiction published under the Eleanor Whitlock name is written, developed, edited, and shaped by Eleanor Whitlock.
Characters, stories, settings, emotional arcs, and narrative choices remain the work and creative expression of the author. AI tools are not used to replace the writing of novels, novellas, or short stories.
AI-Generated Images & Website Design
Some website imagery, decorative elements, or design concepts may be created with the assistance of AI tools or other digital design resources. Where required, appropriate credits and acknowledgements will be provided.
Book cover artwork, publishing materials, and official edition credits will be provided according to the requirements of the relevant publisher once works are published.
Reader Privacy & AI Services
This website does not use AI tools to collect, analyse, or sell personal reader information.
Any information provided through contact forms, newsletter sign-ups, or reader communications is handled according to the website’s Privacy Policy.
A Note to Readers
Storytelling is, at its heart, a human experience. AI may be used as a supporting tool in certain areas of the creative and publishing process, but the heart of every Eleanor Whitlock story comes from human imagination, emotion, research, and a love of storytelling.
Thank you for supporting independent authors and the stories they create.
