Transparency, privacy, and creative ownership
Legal & Ethics
Stories deserve trust. This page explains how I use artificial intelligence, how information submitted through this website may be handled, and the terms that apply to the original work shared here.
Last updated: August 2, 2026
Editorial & AI Transparency
Every novel, short story, and other work of fiction published under the name Tiara Koren is written by me.
Artificial intelligence is not used to generate the stories, characters, plots, dialogue, prose, or creative decisions that make up my fiction.
I may use AI-assisted tools to support the business, editorial, promotional, technical, and visual sides of my work. These uses may include:
- Marketing and promotional planning
- Branding and design development
- Website copy and development assistance
- Technical troubleshooting
- Social-media and newsletter planning
- Organizing ideas or business materials
- Checking spelling, grammar, consistency, or typographical errors
- Formatting and administrative assistance
AI-assisted feedback may help me identify a possible error, organize information, or explore a business idea. I review that feedback and make the final decisions myself.
I believe technology can be a useful assistant, but storytelling is a human craft. Readers who choose my fiction receive stories written by a person—not prose generated by artificial intelligence.
If AI ever contributes to a published creative work beyond proofreading, spelling and grammar review, or similar editorial assistance, that use will be clearly disclosed.
