Bookllo Publishing

Bookllo Publishing handles the production and promotion side of self-publishing so authors can concentrate on writing. An author sends in a manuscript, and the team works on it from formatting and cover design through to launch publicity and a longer-term author brand. The firm says it has worked with hundreds of authors.

What Bookllo Publishing offers

• Book formatting and layout — turning a manuscript into a finished interior with a layout suited to its genre.
• Cover design — several cover options, tested against each other to find the stronger one.
• Ebook production — responsive ebook files that work across devices and publishing platforms.
• Distribution — placing books with online and offline retailers beyond Amazon.
• Book marketing — a long-term marketing plan, press releases, and paid campaigns on Facebook and Amazon.
• Author platform — author websites, blogging and social media presence to build an audience before and after launch.

Who it works with

Self-publishing authors, including first-time writers. Authors keep creative control and full ownership of their books and of the content the firm produces.
