I was very pleased with the production of my book. I know it was a challenge working with a technology-challenged 70-year-old and trying to recreate a previously published book with only file fragments. But the book came out better than the original and is something I’m very proud to market. And kudos to BookLocker for hiring great staff and running a top-notch operation. A job well done!

Eric E. Wallace

I’m a highly-experienced writer, with plenty of publication credits and awards. I’ve now had six fiction books published by BookLocker. From the first to the most recent, I’ve been highly-pleased. Each of BookLocker’s staff is very friendly, creative, efficient, extremely responsive and fast at solving any problems. The cover artist they’ve assigned me each time has done wonders in interpreting my books visually. Beyond that, their pricing is fair (a bargain, I’d say), and their little extras (such as guides to how to market your books and other tips and pointers) are terrific. I expect to bring my next books to BookLocker. I won’t even need to think twice about choosing anyone else!

I have published seven books in the last ten years. Some were published the traditional route while others were hybrids or self- published. I, as a business consultant, worked with hundreds of companies, many as large as Johnson and Johnson, IBM, etc. and some as small as five employees.

I have never had a better business experience than working with BookLocker. The customer service was outstanding and way beyond my expectations Every communication has been clear, professional and right on target. I am thrilled with the formatting, the cover and they have understood the key messages which the book offers. I would recommend them without qualification on every issue that matters to an author.

Dear Angela,

Thanks to You, Ali, Brian, Justin and Todd for another book well done. I am still amazed at how much we can accomplish together without ever speaking on the phone. When I contacted you for my first book, Journey to Joy, I was really nervous about how the process would work. I was so pleased with the result of my first book that I couldn’t think of going anywhere else. You did it again and I am very pleased. I especially thank Todd for the extra work he did to make the cover exactly how I wanted it. You are a great team and I truly appreciate all of you. Thanks!!

I can’t thank you and your staff enough for the exemplary work you have done. As a first-time novelist, I have peppered you with endless questions (probably there will be more to come, so brace yourself), and you have not once failed to respond immediately and helpfully, patiently guiding me through the process. I am thrilled with the end product. Todd did a spectacular job with the cover – its stunning design has already drawn rave reviews from friends and foes alike — and you did a wonderful job with the interior formatting. From the time I submitted my final manuscript, it took less than 3 weeks before I was holding the print version in my grubby hands and the book was posted on Booklocker.com and Amazon. Both the quality of the end product and the speed with which you produced it are astonishing. I heartily recommend Booklocker to any first-time author or, for that matter, to even a seasoned veteran. Aside from the end product, it’s worth it just for the joy of being pen pals with you and your great staff!

More Testimonials:

I had initially started working with another company that claimed to be a publisher - what I discovered was that the company did not do what they promised. I asked around and after many months of research I was directed to BookLocker.com. I asked my attorney (a literary attorney) to review the contracts and they said they could see no reason why I should not align myself with BookLocker.com. I am so glad that I am now associated with BookLocker.com. They have proven to be everything they promised and more. Their advice and directions have been spot on the results have been positive. If you are looking for a publisher to become associated with, I definitely would recommend that you consider BookLocker.com. I have several more books coming along and I am not hesitant about working with this company. Whenever I had a question, it was promptly and completely answered and their advice as to how to proceed was always to my benefit. I found them to be honest and completely above board and they lived up to all their statements. Their site has information for authors that has been very eye-opening about what to wary of and has proven to be accurate and correct. I heartily recommend associating yourself with BookLocker.com

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.

I am so pleased with the final product of my second book published with BookLocker. EJFS Episode 2: The Shadow State (Elite Justice Force Squad Series) was quite an escalation from my first title. I wouldn't have trusted any other publisher except BookLocker. The team at BookLocker is exceptionally skilled at their business, and I am fortunate enough to have them as my go-to for all my literary works. I look forward to when my third and final book in the trilogy is ready for publication. It will be a grand conclusion to my endeavor.

Thank you all for your continued fantastic work! God bless!

The idea and goal of publishing a book had been sketched on my mental calendar since I wrote Initiation Dream...almost sixteen years ago! Though edited many times, it was still one of those dusty things left on a shelf. When the pandemic changed our natural rhythm, I felt it was the perfect time to dust-off my story and finally publish it, but I had to get help. That's where I discovered Booklocker. I needed professionals to assist me in putting it all together and Angela, and her team, did a fabulous job! Being someone not afraid to ask questions, I barraged them every step of the way to make sure I was on the right path. Now I have a paperback and Ebook available to the masses. So very Cool!
Thanks, Booklocker!

The thought of publishing a book seemed a far reach, and I never thought it could happen. As I researched the complicated world of publishing companies, it seemed a dream that would not come true. A friend sent a link for Booklocker, and as I read through the information, I was impressed. The reviews of other authors encouraged me that this was a company to be trusted. I was THRILLED when I heard the news that my book had been accepted! Not only would my first book be published, but I sensed warmth and comradery as a fellow author. Angela and her team were professional and so very encouraging! I asked many questions throughout this journey with Booklocker, and have so appreciated their patience and guidance. The end product was beautiful! Thank you, Todd, for the great cover design...and thank you to each one at Booklocker for producing a product that surpassed my dreams! I heartily recommend this company!

Angela,

I want to thank you and your staff for the tremendous job you did making my book, Hope With God And A Mother's Love, become a reality. Without prior experience in the publishing industry I was nervous and guarded, but you shepherded me through the process with ease. I had more than my share of questions, but your honesty and patience while answering these questions lead to my decision to turn my manuscript over to BookLocker. I knew from the beginning my book would be handled with the same care and respect as though it were your own. I had total confidence the process would be completed with perfection, and it was. You and your staff aspire to excellence, which is refreshing today. Again, thank you for your professionalism.

I grieve my membership in the PTSD abusive publisher community. I paid my last publisher $2000.00 to be released from my contract. My heart in hand I contacted BookLocker. Angela Hoy, the owner, promised, "We will take good care of you.” In fact Angela and her staff took such good care that I felt adopted by their family. Each step of the way was paved with personal attention and integrity.

Subsequently I have published three books with them. Now that is an endorsement!!!

To all aspiring authors…

I’ve been writing for twenty years. I’ve written and self-published eight books. Just so you know, writing the book is half the work.

Trying to find a credible trustworthy self-publisher and marketing the book is the other half. Without a trustworthy publisher, the entire process becomes a nightmare.

I’ve used five of the most popular publishers, (popular based on their advertising budgets) and finally found one that is credible, priced fairly, professional, honest, dependable, and totally trustworthy.

Booklocker Publishing is now preparing my eighth book for release sometime this autumn. This is the third book I’ve self-published through them and I wouldn’t consider any other publisher, “self” or “traditional.”

Team Booklocker: When I signed up to publish at Booklocker I had no idea what to expect. I needn't have worried. You guys took my idea to publication without me having to worry about anything. Your superior service and product are to be applauded. It must not be easy for you dealing with unaware and uninformed folks like myself but you seem to take it in your stride. Be warned, I will not contemplate working with any organization than yours and hope that with some inspiration I can create something else worthy of your attention.

THANK YOU ALL!!!

The Trucker's Nightmare Continues

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You've been awesome and we're so glad we had the opportunity to work with you. People who embark on the self-pub route usually don't have a clue about how to proceed, what they need to do, what to expect from the publisher, etc., etc. You've established a process that makes it easy to understand and follow, with lots of instruction, guidance, tips, and more. You offer great quality, talent, and service, but in addition I think one of the most important things is you communicate--you respond quickly and clearly to clients' questions and concerns. That's really important, especially for people who are doing this for the first time. I've worked in traditional publishing since 1983 and owned my own publishing company for a while, so I know how daunting this biz can be for authors, particularly newbies.

Thanks again for going the extra mile for us and for making it easy--and for letting us know you cared about our project, even though you have a zillion others. I will recommend you to any and all writers I know who are considering self-publishing.

All the best,

I am much impressed.

As a first time author and self publisher I highly recommend BookLocker! Angela and the team are truly amazing. BookLocker were so supportive and nurturing every step of the way. They answered all of my questions (no matter how tedious my questions were) and have always been and remain professional, polite, courteous and friendly. A tip - make sure you read all the material they provide. It's very clear and also very helpful. I'm based in Sydney, Australia and they still managed to ensure I received the best service. A friend recommended I publish with Booklocker and I must say it was the best decision. I will be publishing my next book with the Booklocker team that's how great they are. Many thanks Booklocker!

Publishing with BookLocker has been the best experience ever. Angela and her team work like clockwork at every stage of production. The result is a beautiful book, not the least due to the very gifted graphic designer in their employ (Todd). They are also very responsive to any inquiries. No long waiting time for an answer. The author is able to benefit from their vast expertise and knowledge about the publishing process and the industry. They never hound you with outrageously experience marketing schemes, but will give advice how to go about bringing your book to the attention of the reading public. And the cost of all these treasures can't be beat. All in all, I couldn't be any happier. I know where I will publish my next book. Thank you, Angela and all the BookLockerians.

Angela,

I am thrilled with my book and with the ease and professionalism of working with you. Your detailed contract and instructions left few questions and when I had any, your message system worked like a charm.

My father, who was with R.R. Donnelley printers for 40 years (and is therefore hard to please when it comes to the physical production of a book) has nothing but good things to say about the way the paperback turned out. I agree. The cover is beautiful, the pages are just the right weight, and the font I chose from your list is exactly what I wanted. The e-books look fine, too, and I appreciate Richard’s attention to my concerns about the paragraph breaks. Your formatting instructions were both helpful and wise.

I dreamed about publishing this book for a decade, so it is with a decade’s worth of gratitude that I say “thank you!” for making it possible to publish something that met all my expectations.

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,

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!

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!”

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.

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.

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!

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,
