Why Koberger
Built for authors who publish more than once.
Koberger is built for a growing catalogue, not just a single book, with tools the desktop apps leave out.
A reusable Section Library
Write your author bio, Also By page, and copyright page once. Use them in every book, and update them all in one place.
Series and box-set tools
Keep a whole series formatted identically, check consistency across books, and apply one change to every title.
Rich content blocks
Rich content blocks, from text-message conversations to tables, verse, and callouts.
Watermarked advance copies
Export watermarked advance reader copies to share with reviewers, built in.
Simple steps
From manuscript to publish ready book.
See how Koberger takes a manuscript from upload to export, the same reliable path you follow for every book you publish.
Complete the book
Add the pages around your story, like the title page, copyright page, and dedication, plus your book details and cover.
Choose the look
Start from a ready-made design, then change the fonts, spacing, and chapter headings to suit your book.
Preview and export
Check every page of the ebook and paperback, then export the files the stores need.
Made with Koberger
“Koberger was a fantastic experience. I was quite nervous about how to format my first book, but was amazed at how easy the programme was to use. I’m really impressed with the quality and format. Will definitely use when I write my next book.”
