How much does it cost to produce an audiobook?
No-cost-upfront option: Royalty Share. You & your narrator share royalties 50/50.
Got money? Hire someone for a "per-finished-hour" price...or hire a company to do it all.
Plus in-between options! Details

Who should distribute my audiobook?
Best options IMO are...
-ACX (owned by Amazon/Audible). Higher royalties if you go exclusive with them. But limited distribution.
-Findaway Voices. Tons of distribution, lower royalties for Amazon/Audible.

When should I release my audiobook?
I prefer to have my audiobook available on (actually before) the day I launch my ebook/paperback.
Many others do this differently.
