Why Publish an Audiobook?
Not ready to produce a full audiobook?
Try these ideas on for size, to help build your brand and grow your audience!

*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.

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! :-)

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! :-)
A Taste of My Narration Style...
How it Works...
1. Write a Great BookAlready done? Excellent!
You're ahead of the game. :-) |
2. Sample ReadSend 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 TimeYou review my sample. If you like what I’ve done, we decide on a timeline and put together an agreement.
|
4. Send Your MaterialThis includes your full Manuscript, Synopsis and Character Descriptions for fictional books, if available.
|
5. Narration BeginsI'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 FinishesI'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.
