I have to say that just recently we had a longer than normal road trip to do with the kids and we loaded some audiobooks onto my phone, stuck earphones on my kids and they happily listened the whole way there and back! They loved it and I definitely see a market for audiobooks!

Felicia has been wanting to do audiobooks for her Stanley & Katrina series but she has her character voices in her head so much, we aren't sure if she would be happy with any one else doing the voices (plus she is considering voice over work in the future). All that being said, it is one of those things she talks about but with daily life, it rarely makes it on the short to-do list - maybe one of these days... and this post will certainly help a bit. Thank you for sharing Marva. We appreciate it very much. <br />Christine(Cool Mom) <br />for The Stanley & Katrina GangHummingbird (20SecondsWithMC)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06069347953785436510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581431813017394324.post-51774179020083124802014-11-20T11:55:02.377-07:002014-11-20T11:55:02.377-07:00Hi Dawn: It's possible that royalty split prod...Hi Dawn: It's possible that royalty split producers aren't as easy to find now. I started audio book production nearly a year ago. Producers were hungrier for audio book credits and may have been more open to royalty split. <br /><br />Giveaways: For each book produced, ACX provides me with 25 coupons to purchase gift books at audible.com. Now that I have six books, I've got 150 coupons. Originally, I'd just give people the coupon to buy whatever they wanted. My producer clued me to giving myself the credit and then buying the person a gift of one of my books. That ensures my books got the small amount of royalty, not John Grisham or Stephen King. They don't need the money or publicity, especially on my coupon.Cellophane Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166797508899835493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581431813017394324.post-55800734167754397282014-11-19T21:43:41.821-07:002014-11-19T21:43:41.821-07:00I'm so curious how you managed to find a produ...I'm so curious how you managed to find a producer who was willing to do the royalty split. I found one, but, mostly, they don't seem very interested. <br /><br />I'm also curious how you managed to get free audio books to give away since you did the ACX exclusive thing.D. L.

I'm finding more and more authors wanting to go with audio, but are a bit unsure of the steps involved. My method is certainly not the only one. However, I hope it shows that anybody can have their books in audio format without spending hundreds of dollars.Cellophane Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166797508899835493noreply@blogger.com
