Platforms like Audible and ACX allow distribution. Promote your audiobook for wider reach. Consider professional help for narration and production for a polished final product. Loved your guide.

Sounds great! Could you please tell everyone just how much your cost was per Book to have produced?

Would you mind expressing your opinions regarding the requirements one might need to pursue a career as a narrator? I’d appreciate any suggestions on where to hunt for similar opportunities!

Obviously, I’ll record the narration, which I can do in my own office. But who should I contact for technical guidance?

Hi Greg,

Thanks for the reply. We’ll definitely have to check out e-Audio Productions!

(See further below) However, why isn’t e-Audio Productions mentioned? I have read great reviews both about their audio quality which they seem to take very seriously all done by professional audio enegineers and the customer experience. The distribution also seems wide and they pay out higher royalties. I did a free consultation with them which was very eye opening and they gave a lot of detailed information even about things not mentioned anywhere. Example. The Exclusive option period on ACX is no longer 7 years (as it mentioned in the article) but now is just 90 days. Also, regarding ACX royalties, they explained that the amounts 40% on exclusive or 25% on non exclusive is on A La Carte sales and that most on Audible are done by Audible subscribers as they use their monthly credits which is not A La Carte. In these cases, the rights holder receives an even lower amount. For production I have decided to go with with e-Audio because the audio quality seems top notch at decent rates but I wouldn’t mind paying a little more to get a great sounding audiobook. For distribution I am yet to decide even though I am leaning towards them to do it all together.
