SELF-PUBLISHING FOR EXCEPTIONAL AUTHORS OUT OF THIS WORLD EDITORIAL SERVICES MAKING PUBLISHING DREAMS REALITY

Our Purpose Today

When we opened our doors in 1999, we created a new world of possibility for authors serious about publishing. iUniverse is an assisted self-publishing company, founded on traditional publishing roots, valuing quality service and professional editorial standards. But unlike traditional publishers, we believe the best services in book publishing should be available to all authors. It's our mission to help you fulfill your goals as an author. It's our passion, and it defines everything we do.

iUniverse's purpose is to help writers become self-published book authors with outstanding books.
iUniverse author Lisa Genova not only found publishing success with her book Still Alice, it became a major Hollywood film starring Julianne Moore.

"Instead of fearfully sticking my novel in a drawer, I moved forward and self-published Still Alice with iUniverse. And the journey that followed and continues has been the ride of my life!"
