If you're an author who has been considering publishing an audiobook, there are a few things you need to know. First, you'll need to decide if you want to go with an exclusive deal with a company or a non-exclusive deal.
With a non-exclusive deal, you'll be able to publish your audiobook on other companies' platforms. You'll also be able to experiment with pricing and distribution strategies.
The average audiobook is approximately 100,000 words and is produced in about four to six hours. Post-production can take up to three to four times as long. That means that you'll be able to weed out the bad sections and fix any mistakes.
Once you've recorded your book, you'll need to prepare the files for upload. There are a number of audio formats, including MP3 and FLAC. Each format has its own requirements for file size, sound quality, and formatting.
You can then download the file to a computer, add it to iTunes, or sync it with your own library. You'll have lifetime technical support from Audio Book, plus free updates.
