Paperback by Tablo - Publish in eBook & Paperback to every bookshop in the world

Tablo is an online publishing platform where you can write, connect with readers, and self-publish in eBook & paperback to nearly every online & physical bookshop in the world.

Creating and publishing a real book with Tablo is as easy as publishing a blog. You can write or upload a document, pick a theme and, with the click of a publish button, your book will be available on Amazon, the iBooks Store, Booktopia, and nearly 40,000 physical bookshops like Barnes & Noble and Readings. It's the largest distribution network available to independent authors, and the simplest way to publish.

Paperback is enabled by a global print-on-demand network that will list your book as in-stock with every retailer, then print and dispatch each copy the moment it's purchased from the closest location to the customer within a few days (there are over 20 printers spread around the world). This means the book you've created online will be available in paperback almost everywhere, with no overheads and no inventory. You'll even ship with Amazon Prime.

Writing and sharing on Tablo is free, with distribution starting at $99/year.

The Team at Tablo has been very professional and responsive and I would definiely recommend their services for writers. The platform they provide is perfect for writing and creating ebooks, and they publish to all of the major online stores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books and 30K more! I love Tablo, and you will too!

On-demand printing of books has to be the most necessary development for independent writers since... dare I say: 'the internet'? Seriously, this is a game changer. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Been following Ash on Twitter (PhotoGuides) for many years now, and while I'm not getting that much photography advice anymore (hint hint), his journey with Tablo has been a great one to watch. Wishing him the best with the latest update, really helping many accomplish their dream of having a physical book published. @Photoguides, any thought to perhaps venturing into hardback full image books in the future? I'd love to publish photography books!

@plambey Thank you Patrick! These days most of my photography lives on my iPhone. I am currently writing a new edition of my PhotoGuides photography book which, naturally, will be published in paperback using the new Tablo. Interestingly we do have the capacity to print in hardcover and in full colour using our network, and provide this same level of PoD access to retailers. To help us mange the launch we made the call to stick with one format of book (perfect-bound paperback with creme paper) which aligns with the majority of our fiction/non-fiction authors but, as we get into a rhythm, I'm sure we'll start to open up a select few publishing options for books like this as well.

Great UI. Congrats on the launch! I currently use Amazon's own Createspace and Amazon KDP for publishing on-demand paperback books. What's your competitive advantage?

Mary Ann Olson I love this book publisher. Any problems you have during the publishing process, Ash get right on it and the finished product, to say the least is superb. Five stars all the way for Tablo. The best of the best.

Tablo solved my self publishing problems. Which, as you know, is no mean feat. Getting an ISBN, publishing an ebook and a paperback, everywhere and then getting paid. The process was simple and Tablo has no hidden fees. I whole heartedly recommend them.

As a first time author I was really nervous about the publishing industry and how to get started. Working with Tablo has been a delight. Their platform is easy to navigate and the software used once your document is loaded onto the site actually made editing and rewriting easier. I’ve found the support given at every stage of the process to be efficient and personalised. Having direct contact with Tablo via email and the on-site chat function makes a huge difference. No question was to small or too silly to be answered. I’ve felt that staff have gone above and beyond to make my publishing experience as easy as possible. The finished product is of a very high quality. The biggest draw card for me was retaining rights to my work and creative control. I have thoroughly enjoyed publishing my work with Tablo.

Ash and the Tablo team helped my transition from 'dumb idiot amateur writer' to 'author', and I will be forever grateful for their patience, expertise, and assistance every step of the way!

Ive sent three messages in the last few weeks and never had even once got a reply!! My last royalties were back in March and it's now almost September.. So I feel that this company is no longer even paying royalties! The worst thing is that it is impossible to get a reply from them!
Ash Davies
@fiona_elizabeth Hi Fiona, I'm really sorry to see this. I just wanted to check, it looks like we connected a little while ago on Tablo and your royalties to date have been paid. Not sure if this was an old comment or if this is still an open issue, but we're here to help, do reach out ash@tablo.io if I can support
