iUniverse Launches New Editorial Services

Lincoln, NE - November 8, 2004 - iUniverse, a leading publishing services provider, has introduced an extensive selection of professional editorial services previously unavailable to most self-published authors.

"All authors should have access to quality editorial services," said Diane Gedymin, editorial director for iUniverse. "iUniverse now offers all the professional level editorial assistance authors could expect to receive from any traditional publisher-at an affordable price."

The foundation of iUniverse's editorial services is the Editorial Review. The Editorial Review is a manuscript checkup that assesses an author's work to ensure that it fulfills the basic requirements of a professionally published book. The Editorial Review not only provides authors with a general overview of their manuscripts, but also educates them through constructive criticism on how to write a better book.

If needed, authors whose books receive an Editorial Review are eligible for a variety of additional fee-based services provided by a staff of editorial specialists. These specialists include copyeditors, line editors, content editors, developmental editors, book doctors, ghostwriters, researchers, proofreaders, indexers and copywriters.

"At iUniverse, we realize that authors work very hard to get their manuscripts written," said Susan Driscoll, president and CEO. "With our enhanced line-up of editorial services, we can now help our authors make their manuscripts the best they can possibly be."
