Your manuscript is your most valuable unpublished asset
We built Quillorum with the assumption that every manuscript shared is both commercially valuable and creatively irreplaceable. Security is not an add-on — it is the foundation.
Six layers of manuscript protection
Encrypted storage
All manuscripts are stored with AES-256 encryption at rest. Files are never stored in a readable format — decryption keys are managed per-author and never shared.
Secure PDF viewer
Manuscripts open in a sandboxed in-browser viewer. Downloading, printing, and copying text are disabled by default. Authors can configure restrictions per book.
Legally binding NDAs
Every reader signs a non-disclosure agreement before accessing a manuscript. Each signature is timestamped and stored against the reader's verified account.
Unique invitation links
Each reader receives a unique, single-use invitation link. Links expire and cannot be forwarded or shared. Authors see exactly who accepted and when.
Infrastructure security
Hosted on Vercel's edge infrastructure with automatic TLS, DDoS mitigation, and global redundancy. No manuscript data is ever logged in transit.
Access revocation
Authors can revoke a reader's access at any time. On revocation, the reader immediately loses the ability to open the manuscript — no cached copies.
Full audit trail
Every significant event in your review programme is logged and attributed to a specific reader account. You always know exactly who did what and when.

- All manuscript access events (open, page view, close) are logged and visible to authors
- Invitation sends, acceptances, declines, and expirations are tracked in real time
- Review submissions are versioned — edits are recorded, not overwritten
- Authors receive activity notifications for key reader events
Compliance-ready
