Examples of questions about the "Jibun Monogatari" service (Q&A)

1. Rights and Contracts

Q. Who owns the copyright of a published book? A. It all belongs to the author (customer). Our company only produces and produces books, so there is no need for you to transfer the copyright. You can freely manage the book as your own property even after publication.

Q. How are royalties paid? A. Amazon transfers them directly to your bank account. We do not take any cuts or distribute royalties. We create your own Amazon KDP account (or act on your behalf) and register your account information, so 100% of your sales go to you without any fees being deducted (Amazon does charge a separate sales fee).

Q. Can I cancel the contract after publication or manage it myself? A. Yes, it is possible. You have the authority to manage your account. After the contract period ends or when you are able to manage it yourself, you can freely change the price or revise it. There are no so-called "restrictions."

2. About production and publication

Q. Do I need to design the cover myself? A. If it is difficult for you to do so yourself, we can have a professional designer create it for you. The cover is the most important factor in determining sales for e-books. Homemade covers tend to be of low quality, so our in-house designers will propose a "sales-worthy cover" that matches the content.

Q. Can I publish a paperback? A. Yes, we can. We will use Amazon's print-on-demand (POD) function to set up your book so that you can sell and purchase paperback books from just one copy without any inventory risk.

3. Amazon Terms and Conditions and Sales

Q. Do you offer any promotional services to increase reviews? A. No, we do not manipulate reviews. Offering rewards to ask for reviews is strictly prohibited by Amazon's terms and conditions, and there is a risk of your account being suspended (banned). However, we may be able to offer services such as posting on social media in the future.

Q. Can I publish adult works or AI-generated photo books? A. Unfortunately, we cannot. Due to Amazon's tightening regulations, content that includes AI-generated gravure or excessive sexual content carries a high risk of account suspension, so we are unable to produce such content.

4. Other

Q. Is it possible to translate into English and sell overseas? A. Yes, that is our specialty. As the name "WORLD WIDE PUBLISHING" suggests, we also support English translation and publishing registration on sites like Amazon US. This allows us to reach readers not only in the Japanese market, but all over the world.

5. Payment

Q. When should I make payment? Also, if I change my mind about publishing midway through, will I get a refund? A. When you first request a service, we will provide you with an estimate based on the content, and we will begin work after receiving payment. If you change your mind about publishing midway through, or if there are any parts of the content you paid for that have not yet been started, such as illustrations, we will refund the amount for those parts, but the basic fee will not be refunded.
