I upload your audiobook files for distribution, ensuring we meet the publisher’s and online store’s audio specifications.
My preferred method at this stage is to use an ‘aggregator’. I currently use the Author’s Republic who enable distribution to Audible, iTunes and another 30 online stores and libraries.
I’ll need a high resolution image of your book’s cover, your PayPal email address for royalty payments and of course, your audiobook recommended retail price.
Author’s Republic track and report your sales and royalty payments from all of the outlets you have distributed to, into a single account, that only you have access to.
It usually takes around 2 weeks from the time we upload your audiobook files until publication. Audible and audiobooks.com are usually first with iTunes and the other international outlets within the following 2 to 4 weeks.
Once you have a live link to the outlet’s page for your audiobook, you can include it in your promotional materials, and of course on your website.
