Author Rights on Wonderful Books: What You Own and What We Handle (Kenya Guide)

Your Copyright Stays Yours — Always

When you upload your book to Wonderful Books, you keep full copyright ownership. We never ask you to transfer or assign your rights. Our model is simple: you grant us a non-exclusive license to host, display, and distribute your work on our platform. This means you can publish the same book on other platforms—Amazon, local bookshops, your own website, or even sell print copies—without asking us for permission. You are in control, always.

What We Do on Your Behalf

We handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on writing. When you upload your book, we take care of:

• Secure hosting — Your files are stored safely on our servers, accessible only to paying subscribers.
• Digital rights management (DRM) — We apply standard DRM to prevent unauthorised copying and sharing, protecting your income.
• Discovery — We feature your book in our curated collections, promote it to our growing subscriber base, and optimise it for search within our platform.
• Payment processing — We integrate with M-Pesa, Airtel Money, and card payments so your royalties are collected seamlessly.

You don’t need to worry about technical setup, hosting costs, or piracy prevention. We handle all that, so your book is always available and protected.

You Can Withdraw Your Book Anytime

If you decide to remove your book from Wonderful Books, you can. Simply request withdrawal through your author dashboard, and we will remove it from our catalogue within a reasonable time (usually 30 days). No penalties, no complicated contracts. You keep all rights, and we respect your decision. This is especially useful if you later sign an exclusive deal with another publisher or want to launch a special edition elsewhere.
