Reader's Choice

Editorial excellence is important, but so are book sales. The iUniverse Reader's Choice designation recognizes authors who have achieved both editorial excellence and sales success. Authors reach the Reader's Choice level after receiving the Editor's Choice designation and selling 250 copies of their book. Of these 250 copies, 50 percent must have been sold through the retail channel (not purchased directly from iUniverse by the author).

How You Can Qualify for Reader's Choice:

Step 1: Publish your book through the Premier or Premier Pro publishing packages. Each of these packages offers a professional Editorial Evaluation, our primary assessment of the editorial quality of your manuscript. You may also purchase an Editorial Evaluation as an add-on service to the Select publishing package.

Step 2: If your book meets high editorial standards, it will receive the Editor's Choice designation.

Step 3: Sell 250 copies of your book. Of these 250 copies, 50 percent must have been sold through the retail channel (not purchased directly from iUniverse by the author).

The Benefits of Reader's Choice:

  • Invitation to participate in monthly seminars with an experienced book publicist.
  • Reader's Choice icon placed next to the book title.
  • Featured placement in a separate Reader's Choice section of the iUniverse bookstore.
