Your books are automatically protected by copyright law as soon as you write them. This means that the moment you fix your words on paper or in a digital file, they are legally safeguarded. These protections give you exclusive legal control over your work.
You remain responsible for ensuring that your content complies with all applicable laws and standards. Penwise.ai's policy expects that your writing is original or properly licensed, and we forbid using the service to create illegal, defamatory, or infringing content.
In practice, this means you alone must clear any third-party material (such as copyrighted text or images) and ensure your book meets legal and ethical norms. Penwise.ai provides the publishing tools but does not police your manuscript; as the copyright owner, you are solely accountable for the material you publish.
Automatic Legal Protection

- Verification of content originality and legality
- Obtaining necessary permissions for third-party material
