The people I worked with were helpful and professional.

My manuscript was treated in an extremely professional manner. Every associate I dealt with during the publishing process came across as being genuinely interested in my work. Thank you, I Universe for making a great story into an even better book.

Iuniverse is the best in the world

THANK YOU iUniverse! I want to Thank You for the wonderful service I've received from Author Solutions staff over the last 20 years.  Most recently my book consultant has been Heather Carter.  She has been outstanding.   I am curious to know if you are doing any promotion of authors that have been with iUniverse since this imprint was created.  My first book SUNSHINE & OLIVIER was published by iUniverse in September 2000.  It is a Young Adult Novel written in prose that explores family secrets, forgiveness and healing.   Laced with positive life principles, it deals with many of the current issues of today.  The major characters have roots in Africa and America.   Since then I have published The Healing Adagio and Seeker Dreamer through Authorhouse.   In October 2019, I reissued a Revised 20th Anniversary Edition of SUNSHINE & OLIVIER through iUniverse.  Currently,  I am working on the next book in the SUNSHINE & OLIVIER Series and plan to submit it for publication in the upcoming months.   Though I have very limited financial resources,  I am extremely active on social media and believe with Your Support, SUNSHINE & OLIVIER could bring much needed healing to many young adults.    I  would appreciate an opportunity to pitch my ideas to you and your marketing team.   Sincerely,    Melony McGant

Your staff was responsive, prompt, and helpful. They were patient with me when my hearing problems required repetitions. They tried very hard to accommodate me and my wishes, and I am generally pleased with the result. I do wish the paper stock used in the finished book had been a little more substantial. I never thought about that as i went through the process. Perhaps there should be some options offered the author. That is the only improvement suggestion I can think of right now.

I give you four starts for two reasons. 1. Though he quality of your service is good, your system of intake and book pre, etc. is cumbersome. Would love for you guys to revamp your work flow and keep one or two individuals communicating with the customer. I've complained about this for a few years now, and nothing seems to have changed. 2. A badly printed proof on one book was disappointing.

This was my second time to use iUniverse. They are very easy to work with and it was a seamless process throughout. I would definitely use them again for my book publishing needs.

Paying for the extra editing isn’t worth it. Just go with the basics. Expect some communication breakdowns during editing, publishing, and marketing.
