Why Publish an Audiobook?

1. Unlock a New Audience

Picture
Not everyone reads books... but everyone can get lost in a great story! Audiobooks are especially beneficial for people with disabilities such as dyslexia, ADHD, and dyscalculia, reaching an estimated 25% larger audience from disabilities alone. (not including those who just "prefer" audiobooks)

2. Deepen Connection with Your Readers

Picture
Got a few book fans already? You'll find many of them come back after the first read to listen to your audiobook! Sort of like people line up to see the movie after falling in love with the book. Audiobooks offer a more engaging way for your readers to connect and tell friends about their favourite stories!

3. Boost Your Book's Marketability

Picture
Some readers will start with the audiobook and then purchase the print or eBook edition to simultaneously listen while they read. Audiobooks are also *Moving Media that you can use to promote your book digitally, in media pitch kits, and on social media. (see below)


Not ready to produce a full audiobook?  

Try these ideas on for size, to help build your brand and grow your audience!
Picture
*MOVING MEDIA: ​Narrate your Short Stories or Novellas, or a small clip from your Novel, set it to some stock footage (Pexels.com has some great free options) and cut it into short REELS (which are proven to get more engagement and traction on Social Media than static images.)

If you’re courting TV, radio, or podcast producers, including a link to an exciting audiobook clip can give the booking agent a fuller sense of your voice as a writer, your book’s subject matter, and why you’d be a good fit for their program.

Picture
NEWSLETTER CLIPS: One of the ways to grow your email list is to offer a free Short Story or Novella to subscribers. Why not narrate these stories and offer an audiobook version to your subscribers?

​You can also repurpose pieces of this content for use in *Moving Media (see above), creating enticing 30-60 second clips with a call to action to hear the Full Novella when they opt in for your newsletter! Talk about a Savvy Author! :-)

Picture
PODCAST: You can narrate your Short Stories and turn each one into a podcast episode to generate traffic for your website, leading listeners to check out your other work! Or narrate short sections of your Novel to release as separate podcast episodes, enticing readers to purchase the full book in print or eBook format. 


Need help implementing any of these strategies? I have marketing packages available to create your reels, launch your podcast and write your newsletters. Contact me using the form at the bottom of this page and let's chat! :-)

How it Works...

​1. Write a Great Book

​Already done? Excellent! 
You're ahead of the game. :-)

2. Sample Read

Send me your book (or a chapter of it) and I'd be happy to record a short sample to ensure this is a good fit.

3. Review Time

You review my sample. If you like what I’ve done, we decide on a timeline and put together an agreement. ​

​4. Send Your Material

This includes your full Manuscript, Synopsis and Character Descriptions for fictional books, if available.

5. Narration Begins

I'll implement any notes you had for me after the sample read and deliver one full chapter and/or character samples for your review, to ensure we're aligned before proceeding.

6. Narration Finishes

I'll then narrate, edit and produce the rest of your chapters to *ACX Audible's rigorous standards, delivering completed chapters as they become available. ​
*ACX has very strict audio standards. That's why I always run every file through an ACX production check before delivering to you, to ensure your upload process to the platform is a smooth one.   If ACX was to reject a file for any reason (this hasn't happened to me yet) you have My Guarantee that I'll fix the file for you at no additional fee.
