FAQ
Questions authors ask first.
Always. AuthorVA is a service company, not a publisher. You keep 100% of your copyright, your ISBNs, your royalties and every production file we create.
Yours. We help you open and configure it, then work inside it with the access level you grant. You can revoke that access at any time and nothing about your listings changes.
Most books move from discovery to publication in eight to twelve weeks, depending on manuscript readiness, audiobook scope and how quickly reviews come back.
Yes. Many authors begin with a cover or an interior, then expand into website, audiobook and marketing once they see the work.
We prepare and format manuscripts, and we coordinate with editors where developmental or line editing is needed so the handoff stays seamless.
Two simple plans: the Self-Managed Plan at $2,499 (support 6 months) for authors who want full control, and the Fully Managed Plan at $6,899 (support 3 years, available in installment) for authors who want a team running distribution and oversight. See the Pricing page for the full breakdown.
