THE PROCESS
WHY US?
Our experience in audiobook production is unmatched. Our passion is publishing and helping great stories come to life via audio. We will bring your story to life and then present it to the world. Most importantly- we do it ALL for you under one roof. Narration, production, audio editing, digital formatting, uploading to online sellers, distribution, promotion and royalty collections- all are done for you in one place with ease and simplicity. We are one of the only audiobook publishers that will take you from a mere eBook or print edition through audiobook production, sales and publicity.
HOW IT WORKS
There are other companies that will help produce your audiobook, but their job ends with that- they don’t guide you through the complexities of formatting, technical compliance, uploading to the various sellers like Amazon and Apple, ensuring your audiobook listing matches-up with your print or eBook edition online, promotion and royalty collection and management. Then there are distribution networks like Amazon and Apple that will distribute your audiobook but will assist with nothing else (no production assistance, promotion, digital conversion, cover formatting, etc.). We, on the other hand, take care of absolutely everything, leaving you with the task of simply working with our Casting Director and Audio Production Coordinators (APCs) to choose from a variety of narrators and approving the press release that we prepare for distribution on your behalf.
The vast majority of the market share for audiobook sales is held by just a few major platforms- Amazon, Audible.com (owned by Amazon) and Apple- and your audiobook will be sold on all three platforms, so you have wide and deep distribution to sell your audiobook nationally and internationally. There are many other smaller players out there, but these three platforms account for the vast majority of all sales. Also, when an audiobook author and his/her publisher agree to give these three major platforms the exclusive rights to sell a particular audiobook, they will return
SELLING YOUR AUDIOBOOK
the favor by paying a much higher royalty rate (40% of the sale price vs. 25%). It is our opinion that the extra 15% in royalty payments far outweighs any sales that might be realized by listing your audiobook with smaller, less significant sellers. Thus, every audiobook we agree to produce and distribute will be made available on these major platforms and only these.
To keep the entire process simple, we will provide an easy to understand statement and one check for all your sales royalties!
The Association of American Publishers estimated publisher revenue for downloaded audio increased 28.7% over 2019. Downloaded audio has long seen increases of this magnitude; the 2019 report reiterates this, estimating that publisher’s revenues in the category will grow 181.8% from 2015 to 2020. In short, audiobooks have seen a nine-year trend of double-digit revenue growth!
The royalty structure from these three major retail platforms is quite simple- any time someone purchases a copy of your audiobook, you will receive a royalty of 40% of the revenue collected by the seller (Amazon, Apple, Audible). As an example, an audiobook which produces revenue of $19.95 will receive a royalty of $7.98 for every book sold! We would be entitled to no part of that royalty until after you have received at least $10,000 in royalty payments, at which time we would be entitled to a mere 32¢ (4%) of your $7.98. Keep in mind that sometimes the revenue for which royalty is paid will be the same as the listed sale price, but other times the revenue collected (and thus royalty) will vary such as when an Audible member uses a member credit, purchases at a discount, etc. Regardless, 100% of what we receive from Audible/Apple/Amazon for your audiobook sales is passed directly to you.
