Terms & Conditions

Last updated: July 26, 2026

Welcome to Citizenshare Publishing House ("Citizenshare," "we," "us"). By using citizenshare.com (the "Site"), taking our assessment, or receiving our readings and correspondence, you agree to these Terms & Conditions.

Educational Nature of Our Content

Citizenshare provides literary and educational content, including the Distance Reading, essays, and clinician-reviewed insights. Citizenshare offers literary and educational coaching with access to a licensed clinician — not psychotherapy, counseling, diagnosis, or medical treatment. Our content and skill-building coaching are developed and reviewed by licensed clinicians; no clinician–patient relationship is created, and nothing here substitutes for care from a licensed mental health provider. Many readers use Citizenshare alongside their own professional care. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or dial 911.

Eligibility

The Site and its offerings are intended for adults. Your participation certifies that you are 18 years of age or older.

Intellectual Property

All content on the Site — including Miriam’s Scarlet Season, the Almada Papers, the Distance Reading, essays, images, and branding — is the property of Citizenshare Publishing House and is protected by copyright. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our written permission.

Your Submissions

When you submit assessment answers, questions, or messages, you grant us the right to use them to prepare your readings and respond to you. We may draw on anonymized, de-identified themes from submissions to improve our content; we will never publish your personal story in an identifiable way without your consent.

No Guarantees

Relationships are complex, and outcomes depend on many factors beyond any reading or coaching. We make no promises regarding reconciliation or any particular relational outcome.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Citizenshare shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the Site or its content.

Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time; the "Last updated" date reflects the current version. Continued use of the Site constitutes acceptance.
