Author Kregg P.J. Jorgenson
For self-published authors the publishing business is generally hit and miss, with some POD publishers better than others and a very few like BookLocker in the rare, much better category. Their customer service is outstanding and working with them on my projects has definitely been a wonderful, as well as a professional experience. I'd give them six-stars but you only have room for five.

DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT SELF-PUBLISHING YOUR BOOK?
ASK ANGELA!
Angela Hoy is President & CEO of BookLocker.com and the author of 24 books. Unlike the “other guys” who have overseas call centers, every author at BookLocker has direct access to Angela. That’s right, you can contact the owner of the company, as well as any of our staff listed below, any time, at your convenience. No revolving customer service reps, no layers of bureaucracy to navigate, and absolutely no outsourcing to low-paying overseas call centers. We don’t use call centers or telemarketing at all. You will never be shuffled from one “customer service rep” to another because we don’t have any of those.
Angela is also the Publisher of WritersWeekly.com, and is well-known in the industry for her advocacy work to protect the rights of freelance writers and authors. She has been in the print-on-demand and self-publishing business since 1997 so she’s seen it all, and is a great source of information. Ask her anything using the form below!
