We Are Now Working With UK Authors
Booklocker.com is now offering publishing services to authors in the United Kingdom. Orders for those books will be printed in the U.K. so you don’t have to worry about those huge, overseas shipping costs.
NOTE: This is for our black-and-white interior program only (with color covers, of course). We don’t yet offer color-interior POD publishing to authors in the U.K.
Our submission form is HERE.
Also, if you are a small U.K. publisher looking to break into the US market, we’d love to hear from you. Chances are we can get you into Ingram’s US distribution system faster, cheaper, and easier than if you approached them directly.

Hello R&A
Delighted to hear you are now working with UK authors but you don’t say how - will you be using a UK printer/publisher? Where will the books come from/to? How will the whole process work? What will your charges be?
I’ve bought two of Angela’s books on self publishing and tried to sign up with you before but unable to because UK based. I have finished my first novel and nearly finished the sequel. Would like to get started putting them in print with you.
Regards
Terry Oliver

Hi
I’m a Canadian living in the UK. My novel is aimed at sixty-somethings baby-boomer market which is huge both in UK and North America. I have done a submissions application to Booklocker today and am awaiting a response. I have many questions as to how the logistics of the whole UK operation works - is there a joint tie-in with Booklocker in US or are they quite separate? Ideally I would like to market it both as a POD and an e-book. What are the costs involved? Will this be a Booklocker franchise operation or a UK POD publisher and if so, who are they? Do the same rules and regs apply as to your US parent company?
Hope to hear more about the whole setup from you.
Regards
Terry Oliver

Hi Terry,
I emailed this to you on 3/28. I guess it didn’t arrive.
Yes, the printing will be done in the UK and shipped from that facility to the UK, and Europe in general. It is the UK branch of the company we use for printing all our books.
Other than that, everything else works the same and you get all the same services as our US authors. And the prices are the same - everything is in US dollars.
