Google Play Books Publishing for a Global Audience

Our Google Play Books publishing service puts your ebook in front of millions of Android users around the world. We set up your account in Google Play Books Partner Center, build your listing and upload your files. As a result, your book shows up where readers already shop for apps, films and music.

What Our Google Play Books Publishing Service Covers

Google Play Books is often overlooked, yet it reaches readers in many countries where other stores are less common.

  • Partner Center Setup

    We help you open a Partner Center account, or we work in yours. Then we set your territories, tax details and payment settings correctly.

  • Ebook and Audiobook Listings

    We upload your EPUB ebook and, if you have one, your audiobook. In addition, we check that every file displays well on phones and tablets.

  • Metadata and Pricing

    Next, we write your description, pick subjects and set prices for each country. That way, your book looks right and is priced fairly worldwide.

  • Preview and Discovery

    We set up a free preview, so readers can sample your book. Also, previews can help your book appear in Google search results.

Reach Readers on Android and Google

Many readers never shop on Amazon. Google Play Books helps you reach them too.

Why Google Play Books Belongs in Your Plan

Android phones are the most common smartphones in the world, after all. So Google Play Books gives your book a place on devices many readers already carry. Plus, it is especially popular in parts of Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe.

In addition, publishing here means you are not relying on a single store. If one store changes its rules or its royalty rates, you still have income from others. That makes your writing career more stable over time.

Usually, authors publish on Google Play as part of a wider plan. See our full self-publishing services, or add Kobo publishing and Apple Books publishing to reach even more readers. Have an audiobook? Our audiobook production services can create one too.

What our authors say

  • I honestly had no idea there was a difference between Google Play Books and the Google Books Partner Program. Ordwick explained exactly how one drives direct retail sales and the other boosts organic search visibility. They set up both for me perfectly without any conflicting metadata. It’s a relief to work with a team that actually understands these technical nuances.

    Sarah M.

    Non-Fiction Author

  • Formatting an ePub for Google Play Books is a completely different beast than Amazon. My files kept generating errors until I handed the project over to Ordwick. Their in-house team fixed the layout issues immediately and optimized my metadata for Google's specific retail platform. My book was live and looking incredibly professional within days.

    Elena R.

    Independent Author

  • I wanted my book available everywhere, but I didn't have the time to learn Google's backend systems or manage multiple accounts. Ordwick handled the combined setup seamlessly. My book is now live for sale on Google Play and fully indexed in Google Books search, all with zero technical headaches on my end. A truly professional, end-to-end service.

    Marcus H.

    Entrepreneur

  • 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.
