What is being offered?

The release records rough work made before editorial or computational assistance. A reading licence concerns the agreed copy and reader. It does not promise that the writer never revised the work later.

Private reading and chosen annotations are different from training, tuning, extraction for a corpus or public redistribution. Those uses require a separate permission and price; none is quoted here.

What accompanies a lot?

Ask for the composition scope, version description and permitted reader before agreeing a transfer. A lot number is not itself an attestation. Neither October lot publishes an attestation identifier in this catalogue.

Attest checks a specified origin claim. Origin Office files a scope record. Consent Window records chosen uses; Longhand offers finished writing.

A public originator name is disclosed only where the person agreed to it. A private reader enquiry needs no identity scan.

An enquiry, before a licence.

No lots chosen.

No availability checked, reader licensed or copy transferred.

An unfinished ending can remain an ending.
