MORE UNSOLICITED REVIEWS FROM BOOKLOCKER AUTHORS!

As a first-time author of a metaphysical memoir, and no techy, I cannot say enough GOOD things about my experience with BookLocker! They lay out the instructions for proceeding so clearly, making it simple to follow. Plus are very accessible with prompt responses to questions you might have. Angela and her team are on it and very patient with us newbie authors! Have been getting raves about my cover design, which has actually helped me get my book on the shelves at a store important to me. My book was produced quickly with great quality. They are totally upfront about the costs, and there are zero hidden fees. I will not hesitate to use them again, and refer all my author friends to them. Exceptional, professional service and they sincerely want to you to succeed!

Thanks and Appreciation, Team BookLocker! I started this journey of publishing my first book, My Revelation…Stepping with Power, with a referral from Diane Roberts Stoler, Author of Timeless, to her publisher, Angela Hoy, CEO of BookLocker, with gleeful enthusiasm. Six weeks later, BookLocker delivered! They turned my baby, My Revelation… Stepping with Power into a fantastic, professional-looking published book newly released and available internationally. I am grateful to BookLocker’s online team, including Angela, Ali, Charlyn, and Justin, for bringing my book to life, listening and responding to my questions, and patiently following through with all updates requested. Team BookLocker, I appreciate your professionalism, creativity, and publishing knowledge. May this be the first of many more publishing projects created together.

I have published five Young Adult Historical Novels with BOOKLOCKER, and each time it has been an amazing experience. Angela and her team Ali, Justin, Todd, and Brian have always made me feel as though I am their most important client. There are no hidden fees and the turn-around from start to final copy is accomplished in record time. The quality of the books is first rate, and my book covers are an artistic marvel. Thanks Todd! If you are looking for a quality product where you own the rights to your work, this is definitely the company for you. It is no wonder that they have a five-star rating.

BookLocker deserves a lot more than five stars! I had a terrible experience self-publishing an earlier mystery novel and was not eager about repeating the experience. After spending a couple of months searching for a self-publisher, i came across BookLocker and in contact with Angela Hoy. She walked me through their process which was straight forward and without any hidden or surprise costs–what wonderful change from my first experience! Each member I worked with explained what they needed from me and kept me informed as the process progressed. When my final copy arrived I was thrilled with the high quality of the paperback cover and pages. This is a book I am truly proud of authoring in a large part because of BookLocker. They feel like members of my family. You can’t go wrong with this company!

Just before and during the Pandemic, I decided to change careers at this late stage in life. So many mental health issues were plaguing Americans. As a retired psychiatrist who worked with both adults and children, I had a calling to help the many at one time through writing books, instead of one patient at a time. After conquering the fear of putting my thoughts onto paper, the trepidation of finding a publisher loomed large. After swallowing my pride from being rejected by “Big name Publishers”, I started looking at self publishing as I strongly believed in my message and direction for a healthier lifestyle. I lucked out with Booklocker as Angela, Ali and Justin made the whole process easy to navigate. Todd did an amazing job with all my book covers and I receive compliments on them all the time. I published 4 books with them in a space of 2 years. With all the current turmoil, I need to market my books more, as so much is at stake for the welfare of this Great Nation. Thank you for the work you do and the professional way you handle the printing process. I appreciate all of you for the input, help and prompt feedback I received when I had any questions.– Dr. Shila Patel, M.D.

I don’t remember why I chose Booklocker to publish my first book in, 2001, but I can tell you why I just published my second book with them in 2023. Very simple… Angela, Ali, and Justin make the process clear, and easy to follow; but most of all, I was treated like family. They know what it’s like to write a book that becomes your baby… “she” was treated with kid gloves. What a blessing to feel like you have friends… that you’ve never met in person. To still be able to interact directly with Angela, the CEO, after 26 years is just one sign that Booklocker puts the customer first. In a day and age when customer service often gets relegated to the back burner… it’s a joy to know that my business is appreciated. Last, but not least… the quality of my book, from exquisite front cover to back cover, was beyond my expectations. I look forward to publishing the third edition of my original book next, and I’m delighted to say my wife (who published a book before we met), is bringing her manuscript to Booklocker as soon as her second edition is finished. God bless Angela and the rest of the family at Booklocker.com… I can’t recommend them enough for your, “baby.”
