Terms of Use
By visiting this website, you agree to the following terms. These are written in plain language because they're for actual people.
About This Site
This is the personal author website of Ivy Rosavida, an independent novelist. It exists to share information about my book The Plant Diaries and to make it easier for readers and reviewers to find me. It is not a storefront, a service, or a platform — just a website.
Use of the Site
You may read this site, share links to it, and quote brief passages for reviews, articles, or social posts. You may not:
- Copy or republish the full text of any page on this site
- Scrape the site for commercial use
- Reproduce or redistribute the book cover image without permission
- Reproduce or redistribute the book itself in any format without permission
- Use the site to send spam or attempt to compromise it technically
Book Content & Copyright
The Plant Diaries and related materials are protected to the fullest extent of Ivy Rosavida's copyrightable human authorship. This includes original expression, selection, arrangement, editing, compilation, character development, narrative structure, and licensed or human-created elements. All rights are reserved to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Review copies provided through BookFunnel are licensed for personal reading and review purposes only. They may not be redistributed, sold, shared, or used to create derivative works.
If you would like to quote from the book for a review, podcast, article, or club discussion, brief quotation for those purposes is welcome and does not require permission. For any other use, including extended excerpts, please email me.
Fiction Disclaimer
The Plant Diaries is a work of fiction. Names, characters, organizations, businesses, places, events, depictions, and incidents are either products of the author's imagination or used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, to actual businesses or organizations, or to actual events is coincidental and unintentional.
The novel itself contains additional disclaimers in its front matter, including a detailed Fiction Disclaimer and a Notes on Names and Depictions section. Those disclaimers, together with this notice, constitute the author's full statement regarding the fictional nature of the work.
Reviews and Endorsements
If I provide you with a free review copy of the book and you choose to write a public review, you are encouraged to share an honest reaction — positive or critical — wherever you normally review books.
If you publish your review on Amazon, Goodreads, or other platforms that require it, please disclose that you received a free copy. This is required by the FTC and by the platforms themselves, and is the standard expectation for any reviewer-author exchange.
Receiving a free copy of the book does not obligate you to write a review, write a positive review, or write anything at all. The book is a gift to readers I think might love it.
Email & Newsletter
If you email me or subscribe to my newsletter, you can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in any Substack newsletter email or by emailing readtheplantdiaries@gmail.com. Newsletter subscriptions and unsubscribe requests may be managed through Substack. See the Privacy Policy for details on how I handle your information.
External Links
This site links to external sites — Amazon, BookFunnel, Substack, YouTube, TikTok, and others. I'm not responsible for the content, practices, or policies of those sites.
No Warranty
This site is provided "as is." I make no warranties about its accuracy, availability, or fitness for any purpose. I'll do my best to keep it working, but I'm one person.
Changes to These Terms
If anything changes meaningfully, I'll update this page and the "Last updated" date. The current version always lives at this URL.
