Content & Safety Standards

my-book-hub.com

My Book Hub publishes original children's books for readers aged 1 to 12. Because the audience skews young, every book goes through the same review process before it's allowed on the store, and account handling is kept deliberately light-touch. This page sets out both.

How a book gets made

Each book starts from a creator's brief - age group, topic, setting, and (for educational titles) a curriculum reference. Text and illustrations are produced for that brief specifically; nothing on the store is scraped, reposted, or repurposed from another publisher's catalogue.

What gets checked before publishing

Age-fit: vocabulary, pacing, and themes are matched to the book's stated target age band (1-3, 3-6, 6-9, or 9-12).
Content boundaries: no violence beyond mild peril appropriate to the age band, no sexual content, no promotion of dangerous behaviour, no targeted hate or harassment of any group.
Illustration review: every generated image is checked alongside the text for the same age-appropriateness and content-boundary rules - not judged on text alone.
Curriculum accuracy (educational titles only): facts and learning objectives are checked against the referenced UK EYFS / National Curriculum or US Head Start ELOF strand (which curricula we use).
Duplicate check: new titles are checked against the existing catalogue so the store doesn't fill up with near-identical books.

A book only moves from draft to published after this review. Books that don't clear it are sent back with change requests or rejected outright - they're never quietly published anyway.

Accounts and data for a young readership

Reading a book on My Book Hub does not require an account. Creating an account (to save progress, buy a book, or make a book) is an adult-controlled action - billing and account management run through the same login as any adult SaaS product, not a child-facing signup flow. We don't knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13; account holders are the parent, guardian, or adult creator. See our Privacy Policy for what's actually collected and why.

Screen time and reading

Reading a book on a phone or tablet still counts as screen time. Health bodies such as the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend different daily amounts at different ages, and encourage parents to share screen time with young children rather than leave them alone with a device. Reading a My Book Hub book together, or listening along with Read to me, is an easy way to do that.

Reporting a problem

If a book slips through with something that shouldn't be there, or a page doesn't render correctly, tell us and we'll review it. We read every message and can unpublish or fix a book quickly if needed.
