AubrysTech is built for writers, by a writer. Our community exists to support one another through the difficult, emotional journey of querying. We ask that all members contribute to an environment that is welcoming, respectful, and genuinely helpful.
Treat every member with kindness and professionalism. Disagreements are fine — personal attacks are not. Critique ideas, not people. Remember that behind every query tracker is a real person dealing with rejection, hope, and vulnerability.
Harassment, bullying, or discrimination of any kind — including based on race, gender, sexuality, religion, disability, or background — will not be tolerated. This includes public posts, private messages, and all forms of community interaction.
Focused, relevant sharing is welcome. Indiscriminate self-promotion, unsolicited advertising, or posting content designed to drive traffic to external products is not. If you're unsure, err on the side of contribution over promotion.
Do not share others' query letters, synopses, or original writing without explicit permission. Do not claim work that isn't yours. Attribution matters in the writing community.
When offering feedback on query letters, synopses, or writing — be honest, specific, and kind. "This isn't working for me" is more useful than "this is bad." Build people up when you can.
If you see something that violates these guidelines, use the report feature or contact us at support@aubrystech.com. We take all reports seriously and will investigate promptly.
Violations may result in content removal, temporary suspension, or permanent ban depending on severity and frequency. Serious violations (harassment, threats, discrimination) will result in immediate removal.
