Last updated 2026-06-15

Chiify accepts original ebooks and audiobooks that you hold the rights to. The goal is a clean catalogue that retailers trust — which protects every author on the platform.

What we accept

Original fiction and non-fiction you wrote or legitimately own.
Books in any of the many languages our stores support.
Ebooks, audiobooks, and print-on-demand paperbacks.

What we restrict or reject

Copyright-infringing or pirated work — anything you do not hold the rights to.
Plagiarised or mass-produced low-quality content.
Placeholder or template text (for example leftover "lorem ipsum" or KDP-template boilerplate). See Why was my book blocked.
Hate speech or illegal content.
Public domain reprints and PLR are discouraged because stores reject low-uniqueness duplicates — see public domain books and PLR books.

AI content

AI-generated or AI-assisted work must be declared honestly during upload — see how to declare AI content.

How it is checked

Every book passes a human review plus an automated quality check within 24–48 hours. If something is off, the book goes back to your drafts with a clear explanation so you can fix and resubmit.

What types of content are not allowed on Chiify?

Chiify prohibits pirated/infringing work, plagiarism, placeholder text, hate speech, and illegal content. Here's the full not-allowed list and why.

Do I need to prove I own the rights to my book?

Usually your declaration is enough, but Chiify may ask for proof for flagged titles. Keep your manuscript files, copyright page, and any contracts. Here's why.

What are territory rights and how do I set them?

Territory rights control which countries your book can be sold in. Set worldwide for maximum reach, or restrict to specific countries you hold rights for.

What is a copyright page and do I need one?

A copyright page states who owns the book and the year. It's standard, quick to add, and signals professionalism to stores and readers. Here's what to include.

Is Chiify exclusive, or can I sell my books elsewhere too?

Chiify is fully non-exclusive. You keep 100% copyright and can sell the same book through other services or your own site. Here's how that works.
