iUniverse?

[jennifer_brozek]

Apparently, a publishing agency I queried with one of my books gave my information to iUniverse as "good fit" for my "project" (IE: finding an agent for that particular book). I've done some research and all I can really find out is that iUniverse appears to be a vanity press who might be able to get your book (for a fee) in on B&N bookstore. I've politely turned down the sales manager assigned to me as I am not interested in self publishing. I am still receiving emails and phone calls from iUniverse.

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced something like this and what their opinions of iUniverse are.

In other thoughts, sometimes my search for an agent frustrates me. But, to quote Lo-Pan from Big Trouble in Little China, "And, yet, like fools, we keep trying." Yep. That's me.

Run far, far away. iUniverse is just as bad as Publish America. They are a vanity press through and through. If this publishing agency gave your information to iUniverse, then run from that agency as well. Just my two cents.

That is kind of what I'm getting. I want to publish but I want to do it through a respectable publisher.
