Basic cover rules
These rules protect contributors, readers, rights holders, and the long-term credibility of the collection.
Create original work
Do not reproduce or closely imitate an existing commercial cover.
Document every source
Provide links and rights information for artwork, photographs, fonts, and other assets.
Read before designing
The cover should represent the book rather than merely decorate its title.
Credit stays attached
Accepted designs retain contributor credit wherever the cover is presented appropriately.
Review is required
Uploading a file does not automatically make it a published contribution.
Removal remains possible
Langa may remove work when rights, attribution, safety, or accuracy problems emerge.
