You get the production confidence of higher tiers plus tools that keep working after Title Live. Portal access remains lifetime; rights and royalties stay 100% yours.

Common questions about this package
Do I need Signature if I only want one book?
Not always. Signature is strongest when you are building an author brand or multi-title platform. Single-title authors often start with Pro and add branding services later.
Do I keep my rights and royalties?
Yes. You retain 100% copyright and 100% of net book royalties. AuthorShelf does not take a revenue share on book sales.
Is the Author Portal included?
Yes. Lifetime Author Portal access is included on every package — production phases, file approvals, messaging, and royalty visibility after launch. There is no portal subscription.
Can I add services later?
Yes. À la carte services (editing, marketing, audiobook, websites, and more) can be added when you need them. Packages remain the best value for coordinated production.
Are Milestone Plans available?
Yes. Optional milestone payment schedules are available on packages, with a $149 Milestone Plan setup fee when you choose that path. Pay-in-full pricing is always listed on the packages page.
