Reed Samuel was very good in getting my book through the printing process, but the development of a website (blog) was less satisfactory.

I paid $1300 (AUS) to have a new cover put on an existing book ('The War Within'), and some editing. It took six weeks for Samantha Anderson to put the new cover on my book, ignored my request for a copy of the manuscript to do the editing, and Erin Cohen has refused all requests to speak with her supervisor about the incompetence that was involved .

Very professional from the start and after that. Virtually no problems, and any were dealt with immediately. Roll out was quicker than expected. Great job!

I joined Iuniverse about a year ago. When I first started everyone was very helpful and my coordinator checked up on me. After a few months I was not having much luck on my novel and suggest that I reach out to them. About a year later, (yes writters block was real) I was not having any luck on my work and was thinking bout dropping it all together. I reached out to the Manager of opperations to see what my options were. I received an automated "out of office" message, the next month I emailed again, "out of office" message. The following month I received a "due to covid" (which is a mute excuss two years into the pandemic). I called customer service who said they would relay my message and I have still yet to hear from anyone. I paid a hefy price to be apart of Iuniverse (as I live in Canada) and to not even receive an email back is beyond frusterating. I was willing to hear my options but now I just want my money back and I think due to their blantant and horrendous lack of communication and what I can only preceive as unethical buisness practices I should be given some, if not all of my money back. Who runs a company like this. Envok section 4. Termination and Refunds - where THEY choose to terminate my agreement prior to fufilling, as I have not given them a single part of my novel nor given them just cause and fall within the right to get my money back. I wonder if I had told them my novel was done and ready to go, if I would hear anything back?

IUniverse is a reputable establishment and legitimate self publishing route. They have a long standing history in this field and a liaison with the film industry which gives them an advantage over other self publishing companies.

I corrected all the mistakes I was presented with, but there are so many more mistakes in the final printing of book, that were not presented to me.

Slow and more focus on trading than supporting the client to achieve win win deal between the client and iuniverse

Hello! I have now paid 8k to publish my memoir. I feel that I should be hearing from the editor by now. I have started a blog and have some hundreds of views on it. I'd like to write that the book is available. Otherwise, I'd give 5 stars. The two children's books I published are a bit flimsy in the hard copy form. I have nothing but praise for Renzo over there. The work number on my project is 835834
