Submissions & Publishing

The submission of original works or proposals to Casavaria's editors does not guarantee publication. Each piece or proposal will be assessed individually according to the quality of the work, the nature and style of its content, and whether it fits into Casavaria's current project.

Some services require fees from authors or artists, in exchange for creating dedicated online environments for the promotion of that individual's work.

Freelance Translation Services

Literary Translations

The primary aim of Casavaria Translation Services is to supplement the literary and artistic project of the site. In select cases, original literary works may be chosen for translation and further distribution in a second language, or in bilingual editions, according to the nature and style of the work and its compatibility with the online environment being built at Casavaria.com in that language.

Freelance Translation Listing & Matching

Casavaria's Freelance Translation listing and matching service is designed to facilitate encounters between translators and those seeking their services. There is no guaranteed pay, fee, commission, or contract, for translators who register to be listed. All translators listed agree to pay 20% of final contract amount to Casavaria, though listing itself is free of charge. Casavaria is not responsible for the performance of any party using the service, though any party availing itself of a translator's services will be expected to pay Casavaria the full amount of any translation contract upon completion.

Further Translation Questions

Further translation services for a specified fee will also be available as the scope and capacity of Casavaria's translation project grow over time. For questions, please contact Casavaria directly at: translate@casavaria.com

Visual Art Galleries

Casavaria's digital art galleries are envisioned as a resource for visual artists and photographers who seek to gain exposure for their work. Submissions must be in digital form. Services will range from simple creation of online galleries and/or the creation of a secure gallery niche to the creation of digital media for sale and/or the facilitation of the sale of prints.

Not all of these services are yet operational, and it will take some time to mount Casavaria's complete visual art gallery project.

Freedom of Expression & Editorial Discretion

Casavaria believes in freedom of expression and exists in large part to cultivate, celebrate and promote the productive individual application of that freedom. Casavaria reserves, however, the right to exclude any work from publication on the basis of perceived quality, taste, timing, relevance, or other subjective editorial criteria.

By submitting work to Casavaria, the contributor agrees not to use Casavaria in any way for the purpose of slander, incitement or any other illegal use of expressive aggression not protected by the First Amendment to the US Constitution. According to Casavaria's artistic philosophy, such formulations are inherently lacking in expressive quality and therefore cannot fit into our project.

Casavaria's editors reserve the right to examine all submissions with this exclusion in mind and to refuse any work that contains threatening or otherwise unprotected language.

Privacy Policy

Casavaria Publishing is devoted to the rights of the creative individual, as cornerstone of the human experience, and so of civil and commercial society. By extension, Casavaria intends to refrain from sharing any user information with entities external to the transaction for which such information was given. No information will be sold or otherwise redistributed unless such sharing is requested (for example, if an author asks to advertise contact information or to have work published).

Casavaria believes that any visitor to its pages should be able to explore freely without concern for the resale of their information, which amounts to usurpation of their identity.

If, in the course of doing business, it becomes necessary to define the traffic that flows through Casavaria's pages, this will be done only with total number of visitors and what areas are most visited. No specific user information will be used to define Casavaria's traffic.
