How long does it take for my book to be available for purchase after publishing?

The availability of your book for purchase may vary depending on several factors. Once your book is published, it typically takes a few days to several weeks for it to become available for purchase on different platforms. It undergoes a distribution process that includes formatting, ensuring quality, and making it accessible across various channels. This process varies between traditional publishers and self-publishing platforms. Traditional publishers usually have a longer timeline due to extensive editing, printing, and distribution procedures. However, self-publishing platforms like Authorselvi offer a quicker turnaround time, often within a week to a couple of weeks. It is important to note that these timelines can still vary based on factors like the genre, formatting complexity, retail distribution networks, and any potential revisions needed.
