ANOTHER HAPPY BOOKLOCKER AUTHOR! :)
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 Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) to produce an ebook for listing on Amazon, 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 Amazon 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 KDP.
