TAV Association

Reining in the Wild West of Publishing Service Providers

The Author's Voice Association exists for one simple reason: to connect talented authors with experienced publishing professionals who know what they're doing.

Proven Professional Standards

Every day, we see authors pour their hearts, time, and money into working with questionable professionals who promise the world but can't deliver a quality book cover, let alone a bestselling strategy.

While the publishing industry is full of talented professionals, unfortunately, there are too many unqualified people who claim they can help authors succeed. Authors waste time, money, and trust on providers who over-promise and under-deliver.

We're changing that.

We believe every author deserves access to real expertise, and every qualified professional deserves to be recognized for their skills.

When proven professional editors, designers, and marketing experts struggle to stand out in a sea of wannabes and weekend warriors, it's frustrating for everyone and it's exactly why we created TAVA, The Author's Voice Association.

Through our rigorous certification process built on education, community, and proven professional standards, we're creating the publishing industry's most trusted network—where authors find the right help and professionals find the recognition they've earned.

The TAV Association is a curated community of publishing professionals who have earned their place through proven experience, ethical practices, and reliable service delivery. When you see the TAVA badge, you know you're working with someone who meets the industry's highest standards.
