At Written, we don’t restrict content based on genre, tone, or subject matter. Want to publish a spicy enemies-to-lovers novella? A violent dystopian thriller? A surreal collection of flash fiction, political satire, or a memoir about your weirdest job? Go for it. We’re here to distribute your work—not censor it.

That said, you’re the publisher of record, which means you’re responsible for ensuring your work complies with the laws in the countries where your readers live. If your book contains adult content, strong language, graphic violence, or other NSFW material, that’s totally fine—but we ask that you tag it appropriately so readers know what they’re getting into. Written is a space for all kinds of stories, and we want readers to find (and avoid) what suits them. If you’re writing nonfiction, it's on you to avoid defamation or privacy issues. And if you're publishing fanfiction, pay special attention to copyright.

If your story uses original characters or is set in an alternate universe that’s clearly transformative, you may be on safe ground. But if you're using recognizable names, settings, or dialogue from copyrighted works, you could be infringing—even if your story is a labor of love. When in doubt, consider reworking fanfiction into original fiction (many successful authors started that way) or sticking to works based on public domain sources.

Please note: while we support creative freedom, if we’re legally required by authorities to remove a book due to local law violations, we may need to take it down from the showcase in specific regions. If that happens, we’ll let you know why.

Your book, your rules—but also your responsibility. We're your platform, not your police.
