The final product of the book turned out good. Could have been better if we could have placed some images (pictures, etc) in it. There was some miscommunication involving different departments. In the end, it turned out to be a very expensive project. There was no follow-up involving the marketing people. We probably will go with a different publishing company next time.

So far so good. They have done everything they said they would do. My “In this Life and the Next” books should be here today and I’m very excited.

Great service and added value with the options that they offer

You better make sure that you know how much money you will be spending before hand so you will not be surprised later on. Also, the costumer service representatives are very rude and hard to deal with. I would never wish my experience on anyone else

This is my first book and first experience working with a publishing firm. I had no idea what was involved and what to expect. I am blessed to say that at each stage of the process my assigned coordinators were extremely helpful and they guided me through. All and all it went smoothly.

We were guided throughout the process. We are happy with the quality of the book. A great experience.

I really feel duped using iUniverse. Before a skilled sales-lady called me, I had self-published two books. I paid a LOT of money for iuniverse to help with both (even though they were already published-my bad) the sales gal explained they would be re-published, new and improved, new covers, more edits, with new ISBNs etc. She further told me iUniverse knew there was much more to publishing, specifically marketing (they call a lot and every time ask for more money-every time!) The problem was after a year of back an forth with them my first book was republished and it was basically the same. (I got a 'form' email that said, "congratulations, you're a self-published author!" Uuummm I was a self-published author before confirming to me, I was nothing more than a number in their system. Oh... and it's up to me to market, even though this was supposed to be a part of the package, it was more money if I wanted them to do it. In the mean time, I had published, recorded/audiobook and moved forward with my second book. It won two awards without them doing anything. LONG STORY SHORT-iUniverse did nothing for me I couldn't have done myself. I regret using them as I could have used that money for a massive marketing promotion and it would have been money better spent. If you're considering self-publishing, just do it, these folks aren't going to do anything for you you can't do yourself.
