POD SECRETS REVEALED: Upselling Authors On Inflated Copyright And LCCN Registration Fees

BookLocker POD and NEW Ebook Distribution Service

BookLocker.com is rated "Outstanding" by Mark Levine, attorney and author of The Fine Print of Self-Publishing.

Here's what Mark Levine says about BookLocker.com in his book:

"As close to perfection as you're going to find in the world of ebook and POD publishing. The ebook royalties are the highest I've ever seen, and the print royalties are better than average. Booklocker understands what new authors experience, and have put together a package that is the best in the business. You can't go wrong here. Plus, they're selective and won't publish any manuscript just because it's accompanied by a check. Also, the web site is well trafficked. If you can find a POD or epublisher with as much integrity and dedication to selling authors' books, but with lower POD publishing fees, please let me know."

BookLocker's POD Program:

Setup Fees and Original Cover Design - $517 (Deduct $200 if submitting your own cover)

No hidden fees or upselling. Books are usually on the market within a month. No extra charge for graphics. 35% royalties based on list price for public sales; 15% royalties based on list price on wholesale/bookstore orders. Added Bonus: Returning authors are only charged $149 setup fees on their second and subsequent books.

NEW - BookLocker's BePub Ebook Conversion and Distribution Service:

Conversion to ePub format and distribution to Apple's iBookstore and Barnes & Noble's NOOKBook store (Amazon Kindle distribution coming March 1st.) - $99 flat fee per book for a single book with simple layout elements. Custom quotes for more complex layouts.
