We have to some extent... we're relying largely on the legal owner of the book/manuscript copyright to upload a page. We (the co-founders) have uploaded several page 99s from classic books, but only for those that are actually out of copyri

Great ideas and feedback! Thank you so much. Regarding the sign-in... because we're building a community of readers and writers who are really only interested in giving or getting feedback, we want to ensure that users are committed to havi
