There was loads of business neglect dealing with iUniverse it was a very frustrating and excruciating experience that I would never like to experience again in the business world.

The end product was very good.

It took two years to publish this book. (#834947). You printed the illustrations too light, even though they were submitted dark. You mixed my illustrations with my coloring pictures, making the coloring book ineffective. You did not print what I approved but changed pages after my approval. Samantha Anderson was often unavailable, and Kelly Martin had to be called to help get the publishing moving.

I have always felt confident dealing with the folks at iUniverse. They are knowledgeable, professional and very encouraging. It has been a fun journey throughout the six times that I have published with them. I am always thrilled to see the end results.

My name is Larry Matthews and in 2010, I published my first book with Iuniverse entitled "The power of the Gift." The cost was very expensive, however it got through editorial evaluation and I consented to have it published. Afterwards, entered into a contract with them to publish a 2nd edition. This publication was a horror show! Iuniverse did everything they could to try to get me to purchase more of their products and when I didn't they published the 2nd edition anyway ERRORS and All! Horrible company. They steal my royalties. Don't buy my books and Please Don't Publish with this company. They're BAD NEWS!

No responses by text or phone. Errors in index; ignored instructions. No reviews so far that I paid for.

They did an excellent job with the book cover- but communication had been very poor.

No timeline provided for marketing packages and my expectation was that it would be in work as soon as I paid. 4 months later there is no information, no marketing materials and no one will take my calls or respond by email
