Editor's Choice FAQs

What are the benefits of the Editor's Choice designation?

If your manuscript is awarded Editor's Choice, a special Editor's Choice icon will be added to the back cover of your book. Books accepted into this program will also carry the Editor's Choice icon next to the book title in the iUniverse online bookstore. In addition, iUniverse offers publicity and marketing programs reserved only for the high-quality titles in Editor's Choice. This designation is also a prerequisite for entry into other iUniverse programs, including Rising Star and the Star Program.

Does the Editor's Choice designation help with sales?

In the publishing world, everyone from literary agents to booksellers ask two key questions when considering the potential success of a book: Is it good? Will it sell? The Editor's Choice designation answers that first question with a resounding yes. Also keep in mind that many factors contribute to book sales, and more often than not, successful sales also depends on the willingness of the author to market the book. The all-important word-of-mouth is a result of reaching readers to let them know the book is available and then delivering a quality product that they will recommend.
