Author Rights on Wonderful Books: What You Own and What We Handle — A Guide for Kenyan Writers
Published 16 July 2026 by Wonderful Books Editorial
Understand how Wonderful Books protects your copyright while handling hosting, DRM, and discovery. A practical guide for Kenyan authors navigating digital publishing.
Your Copyright Stays Yours — Always
As a Kenyan author, your creative work is your intellectual property. At Wonderful Books, we respect that completely. When you upload your book to our platform, you retain full copyright ownership. We operate under a non-exclusive licensing model, which means you are free to publish the same book on other platforms — whether that’s Amazon, Google Books, or your own website — at the same time. There are no lock-in contracts or hidden clauses. You control where your work lives.
This model is especially important for Kenyan authors who want to reach readers both locally and globally. You can sell directly via M-Pesa on Wonderful Books while also listing your book on international stores. No exclusivity means no limits.
What Wonderful Books Handles for You
While you keep the rights, we take care of the technical heavy lifting. Our platform handles secure hosting, so your book is always available to readers on any device — phone, tablet, or laptop. We also manage Digital Rights Management (DRM) to protect your work from unauthorized copying or sharing. This is not about locking you out; it’s about ensuring your royalties are not lost to piracy.
Beyond hosting and security, we actively promote your book through our discovery tools — featured sections, genre tags, and affiliate links. When a reader in Nairobi or Mombasa searches for a thriller or a children’s story, your book can appear front and centre. We also integrate with Safaricom’s M-Pesa and other local payment channels, so your readers can buy instantly without needing a credit card.
Your Right to Withdraw — Anytime, Any Reason
One of the most common questions we hear from Kenyan authors is: “What if I want to remove my book later?” The answer is simple: you can withdraw your book from Wonderful Books at any time, for any reason. There are no penalties, no fees, and no waiting periods. Just send us a request through your author
