Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most from authors across the USA and Canada. Can't find what you're looking for? Contact us directly.
Getting Started
What does Nova Publisher actually do?
We handle the full book publishing process for authors — editing, cover design, formatting, ISBN registration, printing, distribution to Amazon and other retailers, and marketing. You bring the manuscript; we handle everything needed to turn it into a published book.
Do you work with authors outside the USA and Canada?
Our services are built around the needs of US and Canadian authors specifically — ISBN registration, Amazon.com/Amazon.ca listings, and USD/CAD pricing — but we do work with authors internationally on a case-by-case basis. Contact us to discuss your project.
I'm a first-time author with no experience — is that a problem?
Not at all — most of our clients are first-time authors. Our packages are designed to guide you through every step, from a rough manuscript to a fully published book.
Pricing and Packages
How much does it cost to publish a book?
It depends on which services you need. See our Pricing page for our Basic, Standard, and Premium package breakdowns.
What's included in the Premium package?
Our Premium package includes full editing, premium cover design, eBook and paperback formatting, ISBN registration, a full marketing campaign, website listing, and audiobook production. See the Pricing page for the complete comparison.
Do I keep the rights to my book?
Yes — you retain full ownership and publishing rights to your book at all times. Nova Publisher is a service provider, not a publisher acquiring your rights.
Process and Timeline
How long does it take to publish a book?
Most projects take 6–12 weeks from signed manuscript to published book, depending on the scope of editing, design, and formatting required.
Can I make changes after my book is published?
Yes — revised editions and corrections can be made after publication, through Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, or the relevant platform, though substantial content changes may require a new ISBN.
ISBN and Distribution
Do you register ISBNs for both the US and Canada?
Yes — we register US ISBNs through Bowker and free Canadian ISBNs through Library and Archives Canada, depending on where you're publishing from. See our ISBN page for details.
Will my book be available on both Amazon.com and Amazon.ca?
Yes — we set up and optimize your listing for both marketplaces so readers in the US and Canada can both find and buy your book.
Refunds and Support
What is your refund policy?
See our Refund Policy for full details on cancellations and refunds at each stage of the publishing process.
