Communication choices

Author value, not attention capture

Come back because the next useful step is clear.

AuctorFolio can organize assistance around goals you choose: drafting progress, deadlines, editorial findings, production readiness, collaboration, series continuity, and the next book.

Independent purposes

One permission never smuggles in another.

Required service

Security, account, legal, billing, support, access, and publication messages remain limited to completing those obligations.

Optional lifecycle

Goal and progress assistance requires its own choice. You can change channel, cadence, quiet hours, or withdraw it.

Research and marketing

Research follow-up and marketing each require their own permission. Legal acceptance and service notices never count as consent.
