Author Rights on Wonderful Books: What You Own and What We Handle
Published 17 July 2026 by Wonderful Books Editorial
Understand how Wonderful Books protects your copyright while handling hosting, DRM, and discovery — so you can focus on writing, not worrying.
Your Copyright, Your Control
As a Kenyan author, your work is your intellectual property — and that should never be up for debate. When you publish on Wonderful Books, you retain full copyright ownership of your manuscript, cover art, and any related content. We don't ask for exclusive rights. You're free to publish the same book on other platforms, sell print copies through your own channels, or license it for adaptations. Your book belongs to you, always.
This non-exclusive model is designed with Kenyan creators in mind. Whether you're a Nairobi-based novelist or a Kisumu-based educator publishing learning materials, you keep the freedom to earn from your work however you choose. We're here to amplify your reach, not limit your options.
What Wonderful Books Handles for You
We take care of the technical heavy lifting so you can focus on writing. Our platform handles secure hosting, ensuring your books are available 24/7 across devices — from smartphones in Mombasa to tablets in Eldoret. We apply industry-standard DRM (Digital Rights Management) to protect your content from unauthorized copying, while still allowing legitimate readers to access your work seamlessly.
Discovery is another key area we manage. Your book gets featured in our curated collections, promoted through our affiliate network that includes bookshop owners and educators across Kenya, and surfaced in search results for readers looking for content like yours. We also process payments through M-Pesa and Safaricom's ecosystem, so you don't need to worry about setting up payment gateways.
Withdrawal Rights: You Can Leave Anytime
We believe in partnerships built on trust, not lock-in. If you ever decide to remove your book from Wonderful Books, you have the right to do so. Simply submit a withdrawal request through your author dashboard, and we'll remove your title from our catalog within a reasonable timeframe. No penalties, no complicated processes.
