EBOOK PUBLISHING SERVICES
Seamless eBook Publishing to Expand Your Reach
Today, making your story available doesn’t always mean print. Our eBook publishing service prepares your book for the digital age — placing your story in readers’ hands in an instant, on all devices and platforms. As part of our complete publishing package, we offer one-on-one eBook formatting, design and distribution. From sophisticated layouts to cover design that grabs attention and listings everywhere from Apple Books to Kindle, we make the details work for your book so it stands out wherever it is being read. Whether you’re publishing an eBook alongside your print edition or going digital-first, our experts are here to help you uncover your publishing potential.
Digital Publishing Done Properly
An eBook is not simply a PDF of your print file. Digital reading is reflowable: text resizes, pages disappear, and readers control the font — which means an eBook must be engineered, not just exported. Poorly converted eBooks break on real devices: chapter links fail, images drift, and formatting collapses the moment a reader enlarges the text. Those are the one-star reviews no author deserves.
Hoggard Publishers builds eBooks from the manuscript up. We create clean, validated files that behave correctly across Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo and library platforms, with working navigation, properly embedded fonts and images that hold their place. Fixed-layout editions — for children’s books, cookbooks and heavily illustrated titles — are crafted separately, because they follow entirely different rules.
Distribution is configured just as carefully: correct metadata, categories and pricing per store, territory settings that match your rights, and listings that look polished everywhere your book appears. Publish digital-first, or pair your eBook with print — either way, you keep 100% of your rights and royalties.

eBook Publishing — Frequently Asked Questions
Which platforms will my eBook be available on?
We distribute across all major platforms — Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play Books and library/subscription channels such as OverDrive. You choose the mix: some authors go Kindle-exclusive for its promotional tools, others publish wide. We’ll explain the trade-offs so you can decide.
What’s the difference between reflowable and fixed-layout eBooks?
Reflowable eBooks let text resize and reflow to any screen — right for novels and most non-fiction. Fixed-layout eBooks lock each page’s design, which is essential for picture books, cookbooks and heavily illustrated titles. We build both, and will recommend the right format for your book.
Can you convert my existing print book into an eBook?
Yes. We regularly convert print editions into properly engineered digital editions. Rather than auto-converting your print PDF (which produces broken files), we rebuild the book as a native ePub so it behaves correctly on every device.
How long does eBook publishing take?
A straightforward novel is typically formatted, validated and live within two to three weeks. Fixed-layout and illustrated titles take longer because every page is crafted individually. We confirm a timeline at your consultation.
Do I need a separate ISBN for my eBook?
Best practice is a distinct ISBN per format, and some platforms and libraries require it. We register your eBook ISBN correctly and ensure the metadata ties your digital and print editions together in store listings.
Can I update my eBook after it’s published?
Yes — that’s one of digital publishing’s great advantages. We can push corrected or revised editions to every store cleanly, so late-caught typos or updated content never haunt your book permanently.
