eBook Dynasty: For Authors
Engaging the Chinese Market
eBook Dynasty assists emerging and established English-language authors, literary agents and publishers to translate, publish and promote their titles to the Chinese World in digital and print formats. As long as you own the intellectual property rights to an original work, we are happy to hear from you.
Meanwhile, please read on about our publishing services.
I Want to Publish eBooks
Here at eBook Dynasty, all our Chinese ebooks are published in EPUB and encrypted PDF formats. Possible exceptions are titles based on or comprising large numbers of images and/or graphics.
All our ebooks are published in Simplified Chinese (mainly used by readers in China) and Traditional Chinese (mainly used by readers in Taiwan). All our titles and their authors are promoted in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and English, on our website and through our social media presence in Facebook, X, Instagram and Weibo.
For the Chinese ebook cover, authors are invited to provide their own high-resolution "blank" image (300DPI). For those authors requiring professional cover designs, our standard fee is USD $150 per title for both Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
All our Chinese ebooks are distributed via eBook Dynasty's website, IngramSpark, Readmoo (which covers Google Play Books and Apple Books), and HyRead (which covers 700+ libraries across the Chinese World). Authors can choose extra promotional services through our distribution partners in Taiwan.
Apart from our own Chinese ebooks, we also help emerging and established English-language authors, literary agents and publishers promote their Chinese ebooks. Our other services include English/Chinese and Chinese/English translation. For more details, please see Our Services.
I Want to Publish Print Books
Since November 2014, eBook Dynasty has been providing Chinese print book publishing service to authors worldwide. All our Chinese print books are published in horizontal format as perfect bound paperbacks, in Simplified Chinese and/or Traditional Chinese. The interior is either black-and-white or colour, and the cover is either matte or gloss.
Since November 2017, all our Chinese print books are distributed via IngramSpark's global print retail partners and Global Connect. Authors can choose extra promotional services through our distribution partners in Taiwan. This includes more than 2000 national, regional, independent and online bookstores across the island, with some of the most prominent examples being Kingstone, Eslite and Books.com.tw. Via our distribution partners, our titles are also distributed to those online and physical bookstores in Hong Kong, North America and other overseas Chinese communities that procure Chinese print books.
For the Chinese print book cover (including front, back and spine), authors are invited to provide their own high-resolution "blank" image (300DPI). For those authors requiring professional cover designs, our standard fee is USD $250 per title for both Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
Apart from our own Chinese print books, we also help emerging and established English-language authors, literary agents and publishers promote their Chinese print books. For more details, please see Our Services.

About the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
In order to respect our authors and readers, and to protect the rights of our artists, the following declarations are included in all the works of art published and distributed by eBook Dynasty, including the texts, cover designs and illustrations of our digital and print books, whether they are originally written in the Chinese language or translated from the English language:
- Original Chinese Texts："This Work does not include any text generated with artificial intelligence technologies. Otherwise, text generated with artificial intelligence technologies only accounts for less than 5% of the Work."
- Texts translated from English: "This Work does not include any text translated with artificial intelligence technologies. Otherwise, where a human translator has used artificial intelligence technologies as a tool to assist in the translation, the translation substantially comprises human creation and the human translator has control over, and has reviewed and approved, each word in the translation."
- Cover Designs and Illustrations: "This Work does not include any image, artwork, design and/or other visual elements generated with artificial intelligence technologies. Otherwise, where a human artist has used artificial intelligence technologies as a tool to assist in the creation of artwork for the Work, the human artist has control over the final artwork and the artwork substantially comprises human creation."
Your Intellectual Property Rights
When you work with eBook Dynasty to publish your work in digital and/or print formats, all your rights, including the Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese digital and/or print rights to your book, will remain with you. We only ask that when you promote your Chinese ebook elsewhere, you keep the price the same as that specified in our contract. The standard term of a contract is five years.
The different ebook formats we use involve the use of different DRM or digital rights management technologies. While EPUB, as the industry standard, uses its own DRM technology to protect eBooks from unauthorised copying, sharing and distribution, we also use encrypted PDF to prevent illegal modification and duplication of our files. For all Chinese ebooks distributed via eBook Dynasty, we also embed the paid customer's personal details in the copyrights pages to encourage a sense of ownership.
