BookNami
For clients

Hire book professionals without hoping for the best.

Post a job or order a fixed-price service, compare real portfolios and ratings, fund a milestone, and release the money only when you're happy with the work.

What you get

The simplest way to get book work done

Two ways to hire, one shared workspace, and funding that stays protected until you approve.

Find the right person

Browse professionals and services by category, budget, availability, rating, and delivery time.

Browse professionals

Verified only, if you prefer

Filter to verified professionals so you're only looking at identities BookNami has checked.

Post a job, compare proposals

Describe the work and budget, then compare proposals side by side instead of chasing quotes over email.

Protected funding

Your money funds a milestone and is only released when you approve the work.

Honest two-way reviews

Reviews are double-blind — neither side sees the other's until both are in, so ratings aren't retaliatory.

How hiring works

From posting a job to releasing funds

Nine steps, all inside BookNami. You stay in control of the money at every one of them.

  1. 1

    Post a job

    Describe the work, your budget, and when you need it.

  2. 2

    Receive proposals

    Professionals apply with their approach, price, and timeline.

  3. 3

    Compare and choose

    Check portfolios, ratings, availability, and queue depth.

  4. 4

    Award the work

    Accept a proposal and the contract begins.

  5. 5

    Fund the milestone

    Funds are held for that milestone before work starts.

  6. 6

    Work happens in the workspace

    Files, messages, and deliverables in one shared place.

  7. 7

    Review the deliverable

    Approve it, or request a revision within the agreed count.

  8. 8

    Release the funds

    Approval releases the milestone payment to the professional.

  9. 9

    Leave reviews

    You both review each other and the project is marked complete.

Your money

Funding you control — and a balance that stays yours

Milestone funds are held until you approve the work. If an order is refunded you get the full amount back to your BookNami balance with no fee taken out, ready to spend on another order or to withdraw. Short on balance? We use what you have and charge the remainder to your card.

  • Funds released only on your approval
  • Full refunds to your balance, no fee deducted
  • Split payment: balance first, card for the rest
  • Withdraw your balance whenever you want
