Publishing questions
Is this a subscription?
The reference plans use a one-time fee per book, not a monthly subscription.
Who owns the copyright?
The reference model keeps copyright with the author and proposes non-exclusive audio distribution.
Can I pay or publish today?
Not yet. You can create an account and access your existing library. Publishing and payment services still need to be connected.
