Dear Booklocker friends,
I was at the Miami International Book Fair this past week to receive my modest
recognition for Destiny’s Dowry. While there we mingled with other self published
authors. I must tell you that what I heard from the other authors and what they got
for their money…I hit the jackpot with you. My son, Michael and I compared notes
with authors and praised you as much as we could. It was sincere praise.
If I haven’t thanked you before, please allow me to do so now. You have a
wonderful company and it appears a caring staff.
Thank you again,
Rosemary Gard

Dear Angela,
Today I received proof that you guys aren’t just book producers, but Book Artists, Design Geniuses, and Wholly Wonderful Word Wizards!!!!! Seriously, the book–which arrived this afternoon, and which I checked page by page–is far nicer than I expected it to be, and I really couldn’t be happier. Super thanks to you, Richard, and Todd.

Angela and Richard,
I just want to take a moment and say thank you for all your guidance and fine work while, “Adam Reborn: A Family Guide to Surviving a Traumatic Brain Injury,” was in your hands. To those writers out there who may be reading this now, during my son’s accident it was a terrible time.
Writing the book was a very difficult time, because I was reliving the accident again. (Tied to the whipping post for a second go round.) However, I assure you dear writers, that if you have any interest in POD, your time with Booklocker will be a smooth road to travel. For those of us who love the written word, but can be “computer challenged,” Angela and Richard and their bookcover team are with you every step of the way.

Dear Angela,
I want to drop you a quick note to sing the praises of Booklocker, and perhaps more importantly the people who make up your team.
In my research about self publishing, it became clear there are two kinds of “self publishing companies.” One kind makes their money off of authors and would print a stack of debit card receipts if they were being paid to do so. The other kind has a business plan based on selling books, and that means working with authors to create the best possible product. Booklocker is definitely the latter, and you have exceeded my expectations. Considering my lack of experience when I started this project, you have helped me to become comfortable and confident quickly.
I am currently working with a bookstore to schedule my first signing. I’ll let you know how it goes, and you can be sure that anyone who wants to talk about the process will be hearing about my great experience with you. Thank you.

Angela and her staff at Booklocker.com have been amazing throughout my long venture in getting my first book published. I did some homework on POD publishing versus traditional publishing, and I decided on the former because of the potential delay in the latter. My book, a series of inter-related biographies, would have become quickly obsolete if major delays came into play. Further looking into POD options, I was impressed by the frankness of the Booklocker.com organization.
My decision to choose Booklocker.com in the end was one of my best moves ever. In retrospect, it is looking better all the time. Angela personally guided me through the process, and communication by email was actually very effective. She and her staff were always timely in responses, as well as efficient. I always received honest and accurate information and advice. They even helped me get a Library of Congress number quickly before publication. Once my book was published, they gave me tips on marketing tools and options and advice. Without reservation, I recommend Booklocker.com and its great staff to any brave author choosing the self-publishing route!

It’s Sunday evening and I got my galley copy yesterday. First of all, thank you, the book is amazing! Second of all, you guys have been flawless in the whole process from since before I ever even paid you a dime.

Thank you!!!

Hi, Angela, and everyone!
I don’t know if it’s possible to keep this short, because this experience has been tremendous.
Every step of this process has been a great and pleasurable learning experience, from the straight and candid information provided on the website, all the way through to the formatting, proofing, publishing, ordering, and delivery of the great final product that is like a baby to me. When/if I write another book, I will definitely be coming back to you.
Since I’ve shared my publishing journey, no fewer than a dozen folks have spoken to me about their own thoughts and aspirations to become published writers, much of which is due to my constant comments about how much my publisher ROCKS, always going above and beyond, always encouraging and educating me as an author.
Because of this, many are telling me how they are inspired to step out and continue to pursue their writing and publishing dreams. They want to pick my brain and I’m all too happy to share information and point them to Booklocker as an option.
For several years, I researched and considered many POD options, and none come close to what Booklocker offers and delivers. NONE. Thank goodness, I found you.
Please keep up the good work. Up and coming writers like me need you to keep us inspired, educated, and motivated.
I cannot thank you enough.

Hi Angela,
I wanted to say thank you again for all your great work. Booklocker.com has gained my trust for life. I wrote my first book with another P.O.D. publisher and had to use up a few bottles of Advil during the process. I was referred to you guys by a good friend and could not wait to call him and thank him for the referral. I am very pleased with your professional and understanding work ethics.
I look forward to many years of working together.

When I arrived at the decision to publish my own book, a bigger decision had to be made- Which self-publisher would it be? As a first-time author, I had loads of questions and few answers. Angela’s very informative articles comparing services and costs of POD houses sold me. Words and phrases that come to mind when describing my experience with BookLocker are integrity, available when I needed them, professional, patient, extremely helpful, personable, upfront and supportive. I give BookLocker a solid ten on a performance scale of one-to-ten. Seeing “The People of God” advertised online is a dream come true. As inexperienced as I was, it could have been a nightmare. One more thing needs said to the BookLocker team: “Hugs!”

Dear Angie and the Booklocker Staff,
I wish to express my sincere gratitude for your impeccable professionalism during the process of publishing my first book. It has been a humbling experience collaborating with a community that is authentic in their mission and being their word.
Naturally when I began researching pod publishers I soon became disillusioned by some stories I heard from published authors or their associates. I asked the Universe to connect me with a publisher that would make the process flow with freedom, grace and ease. Well, I got what I asked for in Booklocker.com.
Thanks so much for making my first pod publishing experience memorable in a good way!

Hi Angela & Richard – I just received my first shipment of books. Everything is perfect. The quality is fantastic & the timing worked out perfectly.
Now I know y’all get the thank you letters raving about how fantastic y’all are – and you are. Go ahead & add me to the bandwagon. Booklocker has done a fantabulous job. You never over-hyped your services, never hid behind fine print & never attempted to upsell me. I know – I used ‘never’ 3 times in that one sentence – writer, yeah right (It’s not polite to roll your eyes). The cover art is great – an eye-catching real sales tool on its own.
During the day I build high tech, Class A office buildings and Medical Centers. Intense, big money projects, with very tough deadlines & clients with outrageous expectations. Now if I could bottle up your efficiency, good manners, honesty & attention to detail & turn it into a magic elixir for my guys – I could go on autopilot & write full time.
Y’all are just fantastic from start to finish & during all stages in between. OK – all diatribes, even good ones, have to come to an end. So thanks & I look forward to a continuing relationship for a looooonnnngggg time.

Homeschooling and the Only Child

Ang,
When I thought of writing a book I was completely overwhelmed by
many many questions. Then when I decided to use a POD company
where I wouldn’t even be able to directly talk with the people involved and
everything was done via email I panicked. However, my experience with
Booklocker.com was the smoothest transaction I’ve ever had over the
internet. Booklocker.com has everything very clearly detailed and all their
processes well sequenced and integrated. Even more important it is a
model for superb customer service. Whenever I had a question it was
answered within 1-2 days (and this involved interacting with Booklocker.com
for over 1 year) and instead of getting a vague, non-helpful answer the response
always hit the question right on the head. In addition, if I was having problem
with formatting, etc. they would step in and do it for me.
I found Booklocker.com to be a very ethical company. Their actions
stood by their words in their emails and contracts. Also…..the folks
at Booklocker.com were the epitome of patience if I got stuck per
understanding something and even though they were processing other
books they made me feel as if I was their only customer. I want to
make it clear that this is an unsolicited testimonial and should I write
another book I wouldn’t even consider using another POD. I can’t
imagine another POD meeting the high technical, customer service,
ethical standards and positive characteristics of Booklocker.com all
at a fair price.

The change to the 6X9 book size, and corresponding 537 pages, has produced a book that is -IMPRESSIVE- especially for a paperback.
I can honestly say that between Julie’s cover, and your easily read print/layout, together with the over-all quality, this book has, by far, exceeded my expectations.
Thanks to all at Booklocker for their fine work.
Hope this finds you and yours, well, happy and in good shape.

Angela,
Here’s an interesting thing. I spoke with the owner of a
bookstore tonight and she’s had calls from other POD
authors who are interested in talking with me about my
experiences. One in particular went through another
company, paid thousands, and somehow got screwed out
of the rights to his work. Kind of a horror story, I guess.
What I don’t understand is why writers are still seeking
out the BIG THREE companies for self-publishing needs.
When I started pondering this route, I researched
exhaustively and Booklocker was clearly the only way to
go. You’re the only one with a vested interest in sales
and that makes all the difference, to me.
Frankly, I was expecting to see the downside eventually,
but I’m not seeing one. Call me a satisfied customer, I
guess. I can’t thank you enough. And I’m not a suck up
by nature.

Hi, Angela,
Just received a copy of “The Pink Room.” I don’t know what
I was expecting, but it blew me away. It looks great from
cover to cover. The quality of the cover is amazing and
everything looks perfect inside. Absolutely astounding.
Please let me know the next step. I’m one very satisfied
customer.
Thanks

I want you to know that I have been really impressed
with your services. Booklocker.com was not my first
choice, but I’m so glad those “other” companies never
responded to my questions, because you’ve done a
first-rate job. The turnaround time was much less than
I expected – it hasn’t even been 4 weeks! – and you’ve
been so responsive to all my questions and concerns. Thanks!

Hi Angela,
You said to give you a holler when I received the print galley for Medical Misfit. This is the holler. I received it and am very pleased with the appearance. I was comparing the book to one that I had published by a mainline trade publisher and, in all honesty, it is very similar as far as quality.

Thanks again, Ang!

G’morning, Angie. Well, the galley didn’t arrive until Saturday, when the whole extended family was here for my daughter’s first communion. The unveiling–of the book–was very dramatic. It came out beautifully! I couldn’t be more pleased, particularly with the cover, this being my first adventure with hi-res graphics. I had printed it on glossy photo paper hoping that it would approximate the printer’s process, and lo and behold, you have to look very closely to detect the difference. As for the text, I scanned the whole thing and didn’t see any printing problems. So, let’s go!

Hi, Angela,
It’s time I wrote to thank you for the wonderful process and outcome I’ve had so far in working with you and Booklocker. Overall, the experience has been just as promised, and I am very pleased with my book and book cover! I especially appreciated your website telling me where you were on any particular day. It alleviated some of my anxiety as I awaited various steps in the process. I also appreciated your prompt response to my e-mails–especially the one in which you urged me not to be discouraged about editing failures!
Thanks for your response, Angela, and all your help! I’m recommending Booklocker to other authors.

I have worked with Booklocker.com on the five novels I’ve published over the past five years. I tried to work with three other publishers prior to my relationship with Booklocker. They turned out to be very unprofessional rip offs.
Booklocker.com and the team of Angela, Richard and staff, provide the “Best, Professional Publishing” format that no other POD companies I’ve dealt with actually do. Those wannabes say they can POD publish but never lived up to their promises. Booklocker’s services are honest, fast, cost-effective and precise. Thank you Angela, Richard and staff for being the best.
Hugggggggs to you all.

Angela,
The hardback copy just arrived about 10 minutes ago. To say I’m pleased with the results is putting it mildly. Stunned is a bit closer to the truth. The cover came out very nicely as did all of the printing. I certainly can’t find anything wrong with it.
I’m particularly impressed with the binding. It’s excellent. Far better than the majority of the hardbacks I’ve seen lately. Throw in nearly perfect trimming and it’s an attractive book.
So–mark that sucker approved and put it online for sale.
Angela, I want to thank you for the incredible patience you’ve shown. And you’ve show that patience while working under a horrendous work load. Between your own writing and marketing of your own books, running a large website, and doing God alone knows how many other things. I sometimes think you’re twins. Amazing.

I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you and your great organization for making is so easy to get my book published. The whole experience has been nothing but pleasant. Your immediate email responses and thoughtful suggestions and guidance made the whole process a breeze. The graphic artist assigned to my book cover communicated daily as we discussed the merits of the cover design and back cover verbiage. I can’t believe how fast the process was compared to what other POD publishers are advertising. The quality of the book blew me away. It’s second to none! Why would anyone look anywhere else! You’re the best.
My sincere thanks,
