Part of the roadmap, not part of today’s product. There is no marketplace in the SelfPub Go app, no roster of providers, and no way to hire anyone. What the app does today is Amazon Ads and royalty analytics — Ads Manager and Royalty Analytics.

Roadmap · Marketplace

Finding good help is its own job.

Every author eventually needs an editor, a cover designer, or someone who can run ads properly. Finding one who has actually worked on books takes weeks, and the wrong hire costs a launch.

A curated roster is on our list because of that. It is not on the site as a product because it does not exist yet — no providers, no escrow, no reviews. SelfPub Go today is the money side: what your ads cost and what your books earn.

The idea, in three lines

Vetted by a person, not a rating

The value of a roster like this is the filtering, not the listing. That means someone reads the work before a provider appears — which is slow, and the reason it is not built.

Money held until the work lands

Milestones agreed before kickoff, funds released against them. Standard practice, and the only version worth shipping.

Reviews tied to real projects

A review counts only if money changed hands on the project it describes. Anything looser is noise.

Where this actually stands

  • Nothing is built and no providers have been signed. There is no pilot and no date.
  • A marketplace only works once there are enough authors on the other side of it, so it waits until there are.
  • If we start on it, it will show up on the roadmap before it shows up here.

The part that works today is the money side.

SelfPub Go is in closed early access. If you run Amazon Ads for your books, that is the part worth your time right now.
