Frequently Asked Questions
No. These VAs specialize in the operational and marketing side of publishing. They handle formatting, uploads, metadata, newsletter scheduling, and ARC tracking. You (or your editor) must provide the final, proofread manuscript.
We prioritize your security. We strongly advise against sharing direct master logins. Instead, we utilize tools like LastPass to mask passwords, or where possible (like with some distributor platforms), you grant them restricted "User" access so they can upload files without accessing your royalty or bank payout information.
Yes. Our VAs are proficient in industry-standard tools like Vellum and Atticus. They can take your Word document and generate pristine EPUBs for Kindle/Apple/Kobo and properly dimensioned PDFs for KDP Print or IngramSpark paperbacks.
The PM acts as your Publishing QA. Instead of you micromanaging the VA, you give your launch checklist to the PM. The PM ensures the VA formats the book correctly, audits the KDP drafts to ensure keywords are placed properly, and verifies that ARC emails went out on time. This oversight is provided at zero extra cost.
