About Bookpal

The owner of Bookpal, Terence Tam, started writing his first book in 1997. Titled "Internet Marketing Research", it was written in conjunction with a university professor. The book was a world's first and had the potential to become a bestseller. This wasn't the authors opinion but the opinion of the publisher. The publisher had promised worldwide distribution for the book, and to have it in bookstores around the world.

Sadly that never eventuated. This discontentment was the seed of something greater. After participating in the writing of several other academic books. Terence left the academic field in 2002. In 2004, Bookpal was started, and through many trials and tribulations, Bookpal now offers to self publishers Terence could only dream of having in 1998: worldwide distribution of books for self publishers.

Today any self publisher with the vision and determination can now see her book written, designed, published and sold to a worldwide audience. This includes all major Australian, US, UK and Canadian bookstores, and also all major internet bookstores such as Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com. Bookpal's vision is to have true global distribution for self publishers, even translated and sold in different countries all around the world.

We hope you can partner with us so we can share the vision for your book, and bring it to a worldwide audience.
