Author stories

What authors say

“My first sale landed within days of going live — on Kobo Canada. I never would have reached that store on my own.”

Charlotte PenningtonAuthor · Rebirth of the Betrayed Billionaire's Wife

“I uploaded one file. Within 24 hours it had passed every check and was on its way to library lenders. I'm a writer, not an EPUB engineer.”

Elena VargasAuthor · Contemporary fiction

“Clean distribution, clear reporting, and responsive support. Exactly what indie authors need without the friction.”

FAQ

Common questions

More answers in the full FAQ.

Why choose Chiify instead of a commission-only aggregator?

Commission-only aggregators take 10–30% of every sale forever. Chiify plans are 0% platform commission. On a $5,000/year catalog, Pro is $100 paid once, so it pays for itself immediately.

Do I need an ISBN?

Some retailers require one. Chiify can issue a Bowker-registered ISBN from our pool, or you can bring your own (BYOI). Print formats almost always need an ISBN.

How long until my book goes live?

Amazon Kindle is often live in 24–72 hours. Apple, Google Play, and Kobo typically take 3–5 business days. Library channels can take 1–3 weeks. We deliver within an hour of approval; the wait is on the retailer.

When do I get paid?

Payouts are processed monthly after retailers report sales. Timing varies by store; your Chiify dashboard shows what’s earned and what’s ready.
