Every book published through Kobo Writing Life undergoes our QA process and because no book is perfect, some will be rejected. When a title does not meet our standards for publication we will decline the title and inform the author the reason for rejection.

You will see rejected titles as “Declined” in your dashboard.

To see the reason for rejection, select the title (which will open the book in edit mode) and navigate to the “Publish your ebook” page. That is where you will see the specific reason the book was not accepted for publication.

If you see a rejection on one of your titles, don’t panic! It just means that something needs to be adjusted in order to pass our QA process.

Listed below are our most common reasons for rejection and steps you can take to successfully publish your title and avoid the delay.
