The Pooky Books ‘Credo.’
Books Aren’t Mere Products.
Books Aren’t Mere Products.
They Are Meaningful Platforms.
We founded Pooky Books on a single conviction: an expertly written, beautifully designed, strategically marketed eBook is one of the most leveraged assets a modern expert can own. It opens doors. It compounds trust. It sells while you sleep.
Most agencies treat books like ordinary products. We treat them as one-of-a-kind authority engines built to position you at the top of your industry, attract readers, grow a global fan base, and open the door to high-value partnerships.
From the first ghostwritten chapter to a launch campaign across Amazon, Audible, and Apple Books, every word, cover, and ad is built to do one thing: make you and your writing impossible to ignore.
No Fake Promises. No False Positives.
Pooky Books Plays by the Rules,

eBook publishing FAQs.
Common Questions, Clearly Answered.
How much time does publishing an eBook take?
The timeline depends on the manuscript, formatting requirements, and selected platforms. Most eBooks are published within 2 to 8 weeks, including formatting, metadata optimization, quality checks, and submission to marketplaces such as Amazon Kindle and Apple Books.
Do you provide publisher account setup services for Amazon KDP?
Yes. Pooky Books assists with Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing account setup and other self-publishing platforms, including account configuration, tax and payment details, and the publishing settings needed to manage your eBooks independently.
How do I receive payment for every sold book across multiple platforms?
Royalties are paid directly by each publishing platform to the payment method linked to your author account. Depending on the platform, supported methods can include direct bank transfer, Payoneer, or other available payment options.
Do I own my book’s ISBN and intellectual property rights?
Yes. You retain full ownership of your manuscript, copyright, and intellectual property. When an ISBN is registered in your name or imprint, it belongs to you. Pooky Books does not claim ownership of your creative rights.
What percentage of royalties do I keep for each book sold?
Royalty rates vary by platform, price, distribution channel, format, and region. For example, Amazon KDP offers different royalty options for eligible eBooks. Your royalties are deposited into your account according to each platform’s current publishing terms.
