BOOKBABY AUTHOR SINCE 2011
“BookBaby helps me reach the
Amazon bestseller lists!”
“There is so much to love about BookBaby but here are my three favorite things.
They make it so easy!
I don’t have to know anything about conversion or formatting.
I just send them my manuscript and they do the rest.
No hidden fees!
This is huge! I just pay them one time. All my costs are up front
and they don’t take a single cent of commission.
They have absolutely the best customer service!
Their employees are all here in the US
and they are all so helpful and friendly. It’s just such a pleasure to talk to them.
BookBaby is simply the best!”
