Editorial Policy

TuneTales publishes children’s stories and parent reading guides. This policy explains how we source, write, review, and correct that content.

Public-domain story sourcing

Story pages are published only when the underlying tale is clearly in the public domain or is otherwise safe to adapt. Each story includes a provenance note identifying the source tradition or work when known. TuneTales retellings are original child-friendly adaptations and are not presented as verbatim historical texts.

Age guidance

Age ranges are editorial guidance based on story length, vocabulary, tone, and subject matter. They are not medical, developmental, educational, or diagnostic advice.

Parent guides and external sources

We favor direct, useful answers over keyword-heavy writing. Claims about literacy, sleep routines, child development, or reading practice are sourced when appropriate, with preference for primary research, public institutions, or established literacy organizations.

AI-assisted workflows

AI tools may be used to help with brainstorming, drafting, formatting, image generation, or quality checks. Published pages are expected to be reviewed for accuracy, duplication, source provenance, metadata quality, broken links, and fit with TuneTales’ editorial standards before release.

Images

Original illustrations must avoid copyrighted characters, logos, watermarks, and imitation of a living artist’s style. Alt text should describe what is actually visible in the image rather than repeat keywords.

Corrections

When we identify a meaningful factual, sourcing, or metadata error, we update the page and use the existing updated-date mechanism where applicable. Questions or correction requests can be sent through the support page.

Search and answer-engine integrity

TuneTales does not create hidden text, fake citations, invented research claims, or crawler-only content. Structured data and machine-readable discovery files should reflect the same information users can verify on the public site.
