They were all professional whenever they call me on the phone. They would respect my time and ask if it was convenient when they call or to reschedule a call that was good time for me to discuss matters.

I used iUniverse to publish my first book Operation ARGUS in 2018 and chose them again for my second book Bikini Bravo, and my third, Cold Courage - the latter two both in the works and due to be published later in 2019. At times communications are a little frustrating but overall, I rated iUniverse with 5 Stars as ultimately they come up with the goods and turn a writer's tales into a professional publication that has access to a wide distribution network (print on demand) for sales.

I am grateful this experience. It is my experience that my concerns were heard and the representatives were responsive to my needs.

The staff persons I worked with were generally friendly, courteous, helpful, and professional. With the exception of one instance when the transition from one operation to the other was seriously delayed, I was pleased with the quality and promptness of the services received.

Very helpful staff especially since this was my fist time to write a recipe book. Communication excellent via e-mail. The book was published promptly as soon as all the corrections were completed. I was happy with the final result.

I've been wanting to get my novel published for a while now. Iuniverse caught wind of it like a bloodhound and made me an offer. "One fee, 3 installments, get everything you will need." That was a lie. They have been charging me for everything from editing, to marketing, to making me a website. They charged me for cover art, promising an artist to make me what I needed and get me a site of copyright-free pictures to choose from. I lost my job after my car and my wifes' car broke down. I asked for a refund to try and put the funds towards getting a car working again. They won't refund me $2,000 of the $2,500 I've put into the project because of its been longer than 3 months. They won't refund me the full 500 from my last installment because I will only get 10% or 150, whichever is greater.
