We can turn all digital documents into great looking ebooks ready to be sold on all of the major e-retailers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple, Kobo, Google, and more. We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to ebook creation, so your manuscript will be treated with special care by your own production coordinator.

Here’s what you get when you work with Vook:

• Ebook files in epub (iPad, iPhone, Nook) and mobi (Kindle) formats
• Thorough quality assurance process
• A preview and optional free round of revisions
• Pre-filled out marketing data to optimize sales
• A personal author dashboard to track your ebook’s progress
• An optional free cover (from a template)
• Friendly one-on-one service

So how much does it cost? We price each ebook project based on the manuscript’s length, layout, formatting, and inclusion of any media. We ask that you sign up to receive a free quote.

Many of our authors choose to distribute with Vook because we make the process straightforward, easy, and the best way to optimize your marketing. When you distribute to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBookstore, and other retailers through Vook, you get the following benefits:

Our POD service will produce a bookstore-worthy hardcopy of your book when it’s requested (i.e. when you or a customer orders a copy, either directly from Vook or through a retail channel that offers your book in print). With print on demand, your book is not printed until after it’s purchased, which limits any upfront charges to you. Your profit: the price at which you sell your book minus the cost of printing.

Vook offers:

1. Print-ready PDF and cover creation: This is the high-quality PDF and front/back cover that we’ll replicate when printing your books. If you’d like to supply your own print-ready assets, we can provide our POD requirements.
2. Global distribution: Vook can sell your print book in thousands of retailers around the world. Your books are printed only after an order is placed by a wholesaler, retailer, or consumer. When a retailer fulfills an order, they pay you the wholesale price of your book. Your profit equals the wholesale price minus the print cost.
3. Publisher-direct print runs: You also have the option of bulk purchasing your print book and distributing it freely. Having a small print run lets you sell direct through your website, in regional bookstores, and at events.

Creating an eye-catching cover is one of the best things you can do for your ebook. The rules of ebook cover design are not the same as those for print, and Vook’s experienced designers know how to make covers that will stand out on the crowded digital bookshelves.

Because covers are required to sell online, we’ll happily provide a free templated cover with every ebook we create: your book title on a colored background. We also offer two tiers of cover design:

Standard $199

• Original treatment from one of our designers
• Layout may be sourced from a template
• 1 revision allowed
• 1 graphic element (photograph, graphic image, or visual treatment of text) to be provided by Vook

Examples of Standard covers:

Deluxe $299

• Completely custom and original premium treatment from one of our designers
• 2 revisions allowed (i.e. 3 rounds of work allowed)
• 3 graphic elements (photographs, graphic images, or visual treatments of text) to be provided by Vook
• Multiple options presented early on

In general, Deluxe covers feature greater custom work. We develop a concept and work with you to refine it. Sign up now!
