3. You can pay a narrator directly to produce your audiobook, then distribute its files however you like.

  • You would pay me a flat PFH, in exchange, I’ll narrate it, handle all post-production necessities, and give you ready-to-distribute files.

  • Ask about my PFH rate to fully produce your book. Rates may vary, with slightly higher rates for extensive pronunciation research or otherwise difficult text.

  • Once you have the audio produced in hand (and have paid via a SAG-AFTRA paymaster), you may distribute it via your own website, sell physical copies at your book signings, put it on YouTube, or use an audiobook distributor.

  • Some possible distribution companies are Blackstone, Pink Flamingo Productions, Dreamscape, ACX, Author’s Republic, Spoken Realms (they require you to work with them through your narrator), or Findaway.
