TAV Association

The publishing industry is full of talented professionals. Unfortunately, far too many people are NOT qualified to help authors succeed. Authors waste time, money, and trust with providers who over-promise and under-deliver. Meanwhile, skilled professionals struggle to stand out in a crowded marketplace.

We're changing that.

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 authors see the TAV badge, they know they're working with someone who meets the industry's highest standards.
