iUniverse review

 

 

iUniverse is a concierge style boutique service that will take you step by step through the process of writing, editing, and publishing your book.

Pricing plans are in packages that start at $999 for everything from ISBN assignment to getting you book on Amazon with the “Look Inside” feature. There are many plans available and the top offering is $7,499.

Reviews from published authors who have used iUniverse are very complementary with many saying the experience was a good one.

Even the editing process (a difficult one for many) gets high marks from satisfied users.


 

 


THE GOOD /
  • As little, or as much support as you want
  • Speed to market
  • Editorial help

THE BAD /

  • Comparing to other self-publishing; initially appears much more expensive to get started
  • Not automated


iUniverse is for those who want (and need) someone to talk to and hand hold them through the process.

The more money you spend with iUniverse the more of that you get – along with more exposure in the market place.

Not a guarantee of success, but a good start.
