Questions, answered plainly.
Do you guarantee placement?
No. Nobody honestly can. We guarantee publication on the Emerald Beacon News Wire network and delivery to partners in your package, and we show you every placement we find.
Are there word limits?
Not on Emerald Beacon News Wire: a release on our Newsroom and your media room can be as long as it needs to be, with no surcharge. Partner syndication accepts up to 1,200 words, and we show you before you pay if your release is longer.
Is there a membership fee?
No. Pay per release, or subscribe if you publish regularly.
How do subscriptions renew?
Plans renew automatically each month or year at the price shown at checkout until you cancel. You'll consent to auto-renewal separately at checkout, and you can cancel anytime in Settings → Billing. Unused subscription credits roll over one month.
What if my release is rejected?
Your credit comes back automatically, and you get the reasons. A few clear policy breaks (like personal data) are stopped by an automated check, and a person reviews those too.
Can I get a refund after publishing?
Published releases aren't refundable, except for partner circuits in your package that couldn't be delivered. See the Refund Policy.
Do credit packs expire?
Yes. Pack credits expire 12 months after purchase, and checkout shows the expiry date before you buy.
