5 starsI can’t even find enough words for excellence to describe my experience with Booklocker (which is pretty unusual for a professional writer!). The team at Booklocker exceeded my expectations for every task associated with book publishing. I published my second book with this group and the process was much more streamlined, straightforward and efficient than publishing my first book alone on Amazon. Now my new book is listed on more platforms than I even knew existed. A**** marketing advice is practical and helpful for authors, and each member of the team made me feel special and appreciated. I found Booklocker through a lot of research due to my nature as a writer and because there are far too many scams out there from “publishers” claiming to be located in places that they are not, making promises they don’t keep. I highly recommend the tier package which is all inclusive so that you can be sure that the publication of your book will be taken care of in a professional manner, from A-Z within the time frame allocated. I give a 5 stars plus to Booklocker and their team!Review fromRickie P

5 starsI have nine books so far published by Booklocker, and can think of no other I would rather be affiliated with. They not only make your book shine, get it out to all venues and booksellers, and back it to the hilt, but take the time to provide free advice as to how to make the experience pay off for writers in their stable. As for quality? They are the best at providing exactly what they say they will provide, don't attempt "up-sells", and are more family than anything else. I've published with two others who charged enormous amounts and cannot understand how Booklocker can profit. They take only what they need to get your book into print and watch over it until it hits the market. All the rest is on you to do, with a healthy boost of advice from the Booklocker specialists. I will continue to publish with them until I run out of ideas, or until I expire. Whichever comes first.Review fromshirley N

I have just completed publishing my book with BookLocker. All I can say is that after having a negative experience with a traditional publisher, this company has shown me what working with a real professional publisher is like. The finished product is everything I dreamed of. Thank you to A**** and her fantastic staff. Booklocker will be my go-to publisher for as long as I am writing books.
They don't just promise; they deliver.
All writers or would-be writers should subscribe to Writers Weekly. It's free, but it's a treasure trove of information. Again, thank you, A****.Booklocker.com, Inc.

It has been an honor working with you and your book about human trafficking (****** *****) is really going to open people's eyes! Your advice is exactly what people need to hear: "My advice is to be aware; just be aware." Brian showed me the first draft of your book trailer last night. It's looking awesome! :)

I have published three books with Booklocker, and they do what they say they will do, and have the expertise to get your book on all retail sites, as well as provide cover design, trailer development, formatting, etc. I always recommend them to other authors I meet.Booklocker.com, Inc.

I am a first time author and wrote a memoir about my experiences working with IBM in Asia as a software engineer back in the era of mainframe computers. My intention was to use ****** ****** ********** ***** to produce an ebook for listing on ******, but I struggled with their difficult editing tools and lack of customer support. A friend referred me to BookLocker, which he had recently used and was pleased with the outcome. I did some checking on their service offerings, and that of a few of their competitors. After a few brief email exchanges with Angela, I became convinced they would likely take good care of me and make my first time journey into publishing less stressful. This turned out to be true. It took about 5 weeks from when I signed up and submitted my first final draft to seeing the book in print and available on ****** and Barnes & Noble. The team at BookLocker performed all the editing and layout, and provided useful tips on cleaning up the content. I hadn’t planned on having a paperback version, but am so glad it came with the BookLocker package as it feels good to have something physical to hold and touch and show to others. They also provided good advice about setting up an author’s website using WordPress, which I did following their guidelines and am happy with the results as it will help with my book marketing. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my publishing experience and would strongly recommend BookLocker to first time authors who want to see their creative efforts turn into a public work at a reasonable price and without the stress of dealing with ***.Booklocker.com, Inc.

Angela H** and her staff at BookLocker Publishing were the most professional, supportive, and personable people that I have had the pleasure to work with. I found them after receiving a devastating email from *** regarding the termination of my account. My book **** *** took decades to write and not having it available online was soul-crushing. BookLocker's DIY option was perfect for us and very affordable. The personalized support from BookLocker's staff during the process of uploading the files was an unexpected bonus. I could write many more paragraphs praising this wonderful company, but instead, I'll highly recommend this publishing company. Any author struggling with *** termination, or excessive costs of vanity publishers please check out BookLocker. There will be no surprises, hidden costs, or disappointments.Booklocker.com, Inc.

Don't ask me how (a bit of magic?) but BookLocker turned the scary prospect of self-publishing into a smooth and manageable process, from step 1, submitting the manuscript, to the beautiful print book I now hold in my hands. I wouldn't change a thing! Todd, the graphic designer, incorporated my own ideas for the book cover but made them better. The clarity of the many images is excellent, and the paper, print quality, and binding are just what I wanted. The staff answered every question promptly and transformed my dread about publishing my first book into delight. The publishing packages represent the best value out there for aspiring authors and everything promised was delivered efficiently. I will continue to recommend BookLocker to aspiring writers.Booklocker.com, Inc.

I was a little apprehensive about entrusting my autobiography to the BookLocker team. As a naturally "hands-on" person, my mindset has always been: "If you want something done right, do it yourself." This philosophy led me to self-publish fifteen of my books. But this one was different. It was deeply personal, and I wanted it done right. Relinquishing control was a big step for me.
From the very beginning, Ali put me at ease, and any lingering doubts I had quickly melted away. However, it still wasn't easy to let go and trust someone else with the publishing process. Thankfully, Ali’s professionalism made all the difference.
Working with Justin was a pleasure. His "can-do" attitude and expert advice on formatting were invaluable. He handled everything so seamlessly that I felt my "baby" was in very capable hands.
And then there’s Todd—what a genius! Although I had sent him a cover design I was happy with, he made one small tweak that transformed it into something truly remarkable. His expertise really elevated the final product.
Finally, the proof paperback I received from the printer was simply beautiful. The attention to detail and quality exceeded my expectations.Booklocker.com, Inc.
