My experience was positive overall. The only complaints I have was one, no one telling me I could not order copies of my novel until all of my installments were paid. Second, in my opinion there were too many coordinators involved in the process. They were all professional, but I couldn't keep the names straight.

I thank IUniverse for having so much patience with me! My book was a completely new idea turning my sketchbook into its own published piece and they did not fail in making it a one of a kind for my library. I’m beyond happy with the outcome and beyond pleased. I owe you all a huge thanks.

Its a vanity publisher. You get what you pay for, so that is mild complement. That is, I never felt cheated. I'm a first time author and i thought they changed my contact person too many times, but not a big deal. The book is published and for sale on amazon (though at a price far too low - which I hope to stop). I believe I keep my Copyright so I can go elsewhere if I have the energy and if I could get a better deal - which I consider unlikely. 30 days after the start of sales I have only 3 sold (one I sold to a friend).

This is my third book I have published through iUniverse. There customer service and responsiveness is the best!

They worked with me from start to finish. Even after I had submitted my final manuscript I caught a last minute error on my part and they took the time to fix it at no extra charge.

I loved to working with you , you are the best , and you have great experience in everything , thank you , made my dream come true . and we have a lot to do next together . Emad khammo project ID 836523

The final product is fine. But there were lots of communication issues with the people in charge of my project. Not everyone, but some of them did not respond to my emails. In fact one of them still has not responded to sending me the book that came with my re-submission. I don't like to leave a negative review, but this became too much this time. I am giving an average review for this reason. I almost chose poor but that would not be fair to the other people that did a great job communicating an tending to my requests.

Good service in general but the type setting/design and marketing service (e.g., author's website and press release) can be improved, as there are lots of errors on the first draft. This makes the author as the sole gatekeeper to spot out any errors for fixing despite the errors were fixed swiftly.

IUniverse has been a very friendly and cooperative publishing service. I recommend them for first-time authors. Their cost of service is very reasonable.

If there was a negitive option for a star, I would’ve chose that.. there busy, I understand but there far from professional. Including the managers, no one calls me back, they promise call backs however never call back. They barely respond through email, but yet wants me to change my cover name to a fake name. I’m paying $1000 just to receive 10% of royalty. Any positive review is a lie.If anyone knows a better self publishing company please email me @zekewilliams500@gmail
