Overall, excellent service, and some items for publishing are a little pricey. And with COVID another dept. unable to run correctly with not enough communication.

IUniverse is an amazing, publishing company. Angie is very friendly and straight-forward, as to turning your dreams into reality. They, (in my opinion) are very affordable, as compared to other companies. IUniverse, works with their authors, to turn their dreams into reality. (I love them).

My experience with iUniverse was great. Other than the cost of publishing and staff turn over that I noticed during my book publishing process, iUniverse is a Publisher that I would recommend to a friend or family. They were committed to the job and they did their best to deliver on what they promised.

iUniverse has been great to work with! I do wish the editing process was a little quicker (about six months) as well as the website construction (two weeks so far). However, other than these few delays, I've enjoyed my experience at each level of the publishing process. Everyone has been courteous and professional. I appreciate iUniverse helping me realize my dream!

Great publishing company. Fast. Helpful. Easy to work with. Th whole team is fantastic. Worth the $$!!!

I just recently received a call from some company that wants me to participate in some book fair or whatever. The kicker is, although they've been calling for years about my first book, this call was about the one that was published mere weeks ago. I commend iUniverse for getting the word out that there is a new book in town. The missing fifth star is for their own publicity department which started calling before the book had been printed. I know "one has to spend money to make money". This person couldn't get it through her head that I don't have any money. The only reason iUniverse was able to publish this book is that I paid for it when the first book came out. Hopefully, they have the record stating that if I paid for one book, at that time, I'd get a second one printed at a reduced cost. The second book the contract is referring to should be out soon. The other part of the missing star is that there is a new person at each stage of the process. It would be nice to have one point of contact who would lead into each state and introduce whoever's next. The way they do it is very confusing. I dealt with a rep for several weeks without knowing "Ray" is a woman. THAT was an interesting conversation!

The only issue that I have is a consultant named Heather Carter. She has not responded to 3 emails I have sent in the last 10 days. She was going to call me and help me in the promoting my just published book, with the do's and the don'ts. She initially contacted me on March 30th and I have tried to contact her with no success. I am disappointed and very eager to start promoting my book. I do not want to do anything to create a problem for anyone and I do not wish to do or say something that is improper, but if I don't know what that is, I am in a stalled position.

The package deal I got was fantastic. Two kids books for the price of one. The finished prints are very nicely done. My only issue is that I feel their pricing is too high.
