Jacquelyn Middleton 🇨🇦📚Question for fellow indie authors --
✏️
I'm thinking of dipping my toe back into the audiobook pool.
I published my first novel/audiobook myself via ACX. However, it was costly and hugely time consuming and I'm looking for alternatives.
✏️
Did you use Scribd, Tantor, ACX or someone else? I know I could read/record my books myself but…yeah, that's not happening! Any advice, horror stories - pls send my way! Thanks!
Ty Pattersonaudiobooks have a significant upfront production cost. there might be authors who make money on every audiobook they have produced but i am not them.
an alternative: check out Google AI narrated audiobooks. They are free to make and can be sold on Google Play (i think).
note of caution: the narration is often robotic because it is software generated
@authortypatterson Thank you for all this, Ty. I appreciate it.
