AI publishing compliance

AI publishing compliance: the disclosure rules before you publish.

Amazon requires AI disclosure for generated text, images, and translations; Apple tags contributors; IngramSpark can refuse automated content. This path keeps your file and your account compliant.

What Amazon asks, plainly

KDP requires disclosing AI-generated text, images (including covers), and translations; AI-assisted editing needs no disclosure and neither changes royalty. Answering honestly protects the account; hiding it risks removal.

Beyond Amazon

Apple Books asks for an 'AI Generated by' contributor role; Etsy's creativity standards want an original concept plus disclosure; IngramSpark's catalog integrity guidance can reject fully automated content. Read the store's own rules before uploading the same file everywhere.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does AI disclosure reduce my royalty or my chance of approval?

No. Disclosure is a separate question from royalty or acceptance; omitting it is what creates account risk.

If the book is fully AI-generated, can I still publish?

On KDP, with disclosure, yes — for text and images. Some stores (IngramSpark, some aggregators) reject or scrutinize fully automated content, so check each store before uploading.

Publish with the disclosure already in the file.

The release package and metadata checklist keep the disclosure statement aligned with the exact version you publish.
