Last Friday, the audiobook for my novelette, Arcing, was released. You can add it on Goodreads and Storygraph looking for my name. You can find it at Spotify, Libro fm, Apple Books, 24symbols, storytel, chirp, B&N audiobooks, TuneIn Google Play Books, and request it at your local library. It will show up on more apps soon!

Firstly, requested this for all my libraries, even the non-resident ones! If you have any promo codes for Libro FM, would love to have one! I also had a question about your duet production what audiobook production company did you go with? I am a hybrid author, and for the books that aren't out on trad pub submissions, I go with indie presses and indie audiobook producers so want to keep duet production producers in mind because I write romance. @adriabailton
Thank you so much for the library requests! Book in libraries is a dream of mine and also how I think a lot of people get their books.
I don't have any libro fm codes, though I have a Spotify code if you're interested.
For how I produced this book: I got narrator auditions through voices.com (though I don't really recommend them because the narrators overcharge) and narratorlist.com
Audio engineer was Craig Hart, recommended by Stacy.
I have a friend who offered to read the male role but I was unsure about his set up and I have an audio engineer friend who offered a rate cut after my book was already done. He just didn't know. I might ask him (K.O. Myers) next time I'm producing a book. Though Craig was wonderful!
I also still want to do my own. Time is always the issue.
@adriabailton If your print and e-books are doing really well, one audiobook publisher I highly recommend is Podium audio but they are very selective. They just got titles in libraries this year, but they’re production quality is really good and I hear from other authors that there royalties are very competitive as well.
@WeirdWriter Thanks for the tip. Unless the publisher itself is handling the audiobook, I want way more control over the process than places like Podium give.
My book is in libraries. I already have library sales, so I'm pretty happy with my self-published version of Arcing.
Now to convince the small press that acquired my YA SF debut novel to do an audiobook.
In that case, one DIY audiobook publisher I'd recommend is Authors Republic. Their author FAQ is here, but it's very geared towards self published audiobook authors https://www.authorsrepublic.com/learn/faqs @adriabailton
@adriabailton Darn! I don’t do Spotify because they don’t allow me to download DRM free versions of the audiobook and I listen to audiobooks on more than one device. I hope you understand! Thank you about the reply. I’m going to look in to those for my audiobooks that aren’t with traditional publishers.
