How to Reach the Editor

The Classic Science Fiction Archive is maintained by a single editor, F. Scott Melville, who reviews every title that appears in the catalogue. If you have a question, a correction, or an observation about any ebook or page on this site, the best way to reach him is by email at editor@ajuzu.com.

Why You Might Write

Readers and contributors often get in touch for the following reasons:

• Metadata corrections — an author name is misspelled, the title is wrong, or the publication date is inaccurate.
• Category placement — a book seems misfiled; for example, a space voyage story appears under Future Societies when it belongs in Space Voyages.
• File problems — an ebook won’t download, the text is garbled, images are missing, or the file is not in the format you expected.
• Accessibility issues — the text cannot be resized, screen‑reader support is poor, or colour contrast makes reading difficult.
• Privacy questions — you want to know what data the site collects, how cookies are used, or whether your reading activity is tracked.
• Copyright or rights concerns — you believe a title may not be in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or you hold rights to a work that appears here.
• General editorial observations — you spotted a factual error in an introduction, have a suggestion for a new category, or want to recommend a classic science‑fiction story for inclusion.

What to Include in Your Message

To help resolve your query quickly, please provide as many of the following details as are relevant:

• The exact URL of the page or ebook you are referring to.
• The full title of the work and the author’s name.
• The file format you tried to use (EPUB, PDF, MOBI, HTML, etc.).
• The device, browser, or reading software you were using (e.g., Kindle Paperwhite, Firefox on Windows, Adobe Digital Editions).
• A clear description of the problem: what you expected to happen and what actually happened.
• If the issue involves copyright or rights, any supporting information you can share (jurisdiction, publication history, known rights holder).

What to Expect

Every message is read personally. Because the archive is a one‑person project, a reply may take several days. Please do not send the same query multiple times — duplicate messages slow down the response to everyone.

The editor does not provide legal advice, and cannot guarantee that every reported problem will be fixed immediately. However, all reports are taken seriously and, where possible, acted upon.

Privacy Note

Email addresses and other personal details you send will be used only to respond to your message. They will not be added to a mailing list, sold, or shared with third parties. If you have concerns about how your data is handled, please mention them in your email.

Thank you for helping to keep the Classic Science Fiction Archive accurate and accessible.
