Why Apple Books Publishing Is Worth Adding

Apple Books readers tend to be loyal. Many buy books right after finishing the last one in a series. So if you write in series, Apple Books can be a steady source of sales over time.

Apple also features books in curated collections and promotions. While there is no guarantee of being chosen, a clean, well-built listing gives your book the best chance.

Most authors publish on Apple Books as part of a wider plan. Add Kobo publishing and Google Play Books publishing to reach more readers, or let us manage it all with our self-publishing services. Need an audio edition? See our audiobook production services.

What our authors say

  • My ePub file uploaded fine to Amazon, but Apple Books rejected it twice due to subtle layout errors I couldn't figure out. Ordwick’s team stepped in, re-formatted the manuscript to pass Apple's strict quality review, and had it approved on the very next attempt. They saved me weeks of technical frustration.

    Julian R.

    Indie Author

  • I always thought you needed a Mac and complex software to publish directly on Apple Books. Ordwick made the process completely painless for a PC user like me. They handled the backend account setup, ISBN requirements, and metadata submission without me having to worry about a thing. My book was live across Apple's global storefronts in no time.

    Claire M.

    Non-Fiction Author

  • Apple readers expect top-tier typography and clean design. Ordwick didn't just format my book to pass Apple's review; they made sure the interior layout looked gorgeous across iPads, iPhones, and Mac screens alike. The reading experience is flawless, and the feedback from my readers has been fantastic.

    David P.

    Business & Tech Author

  • Ordwick didn't just publish my book; they treated it like a piece of architecture. Every font choice, every margin, every marketing move was intentional and precise.
