iUniverse, Inc.

Nebraska-based iUniverse offers a variety of publishing services to help individuals publish, market and sell fiction, poetry and nonfiction books. The company is one of the largest publishers in the United States, publishing more than 5,000 new titles each year. Founded in 1999, the company s initial focus was on business-to-consumer, print-on-demand publishing with two facets: new title publishing through the Writer's Club Press imprint and Back in Print publishing. Barnes & Noble invested in the company and offered iUniverse books for order on Barnes & Noble.com and through Barnes & Noble stores. The company expanded its capabilities to include business-to-business and custom print-on-demand publishing with mass customization and personalization. In 2002, the company repositioned itself to focus primarily on the business-to-consumer author publishing side of the business. An extensive selection of professional editorial services previously unavailable to most self-published authors is offered by iUniverse. The company is located in Lincoln, Neb.
