Frequently Asked Questions

Will the VA have access to my royalties and bank information?
Security is our top priority. All Sagedoer VAs are internally vetted and sign strict NDAs. However, for KDP, we highly recommend utilizing Amazon's "Manage User Permissions" feature, granting the VA access *only* to the title setup, formatting, and ad campaigns, while keeping your financial and royalty dashboards strictly private.
Do they know how to format for both print and digital?
Yes. Our VAs are trained in industry-standard software like Vellum and Atticus. They know how to format reflowable eBooks (ePub) for Kindle/Apple/Kobo, as well as generate print-ready PDFs with correct margins, gutters, and bleed settings for IngramSpark and Amazon KDP Paperbacks.
What exactly does the Dedicated Project Manager do?
Your Project Manager is your single point of contact. Instead of you supervising the VA, checking their formatting, or tracking their hours, your PM does it for free. Furthermore, if your assigned VA is ill during a launch week, the PM instantly routes the work to a cross-trained backup, ensuring you never miss a deadline.
