You, Me, & Audiobooks
Contact me for a free sample of your book!
Probably your first question... What does it cost?
I charge $30 per 1000 words, which is $300 per finished hour.
- This is a flat cost. You own all the rights to your audiobook, I claim no ownership and no royalties.
(Every narrator has their own rate, this is just mine)
Probably your next question... What do I get for that price?
Your fully produced audiobook, ready for distribution on all platforms.
- I do all my own narrating, editing, audio mastering, proofing, and QA, which saves you money
"Why do you do it all?"
Because I didn't know I shouldn't, so I learned how and now I'm used to doing it all
(and maybe I have control issues... who's to say..)
Why Skye?
- I'm a real person! Want to be sure? I get it! I'm always happy to jump on a video call.
- One-Stop-Shop
- Unique Character Voices , even in dialogue between the same gender
- I'm an expert at letting your important moments breathe instead of rushing along
- I'll let you know about any typos or inconsistencies I come across
- If you catch an error of mine that I didn't catch, I'll always correct that for free ASAP
- I'm going to cheer you on and pump you up, whether you like it or not!
What's the process?
- I record a free 3-5 minute sample for you
- You love it!
- We agree on the cost and timeframe for completion
- You send me the manuscript as PDF or Word Doc and a list of important character details, any direction for their voice, and any pronunciations of made up words or names
- I record the first 15 minutes of your book and send it to you for final approval (After this point, we're locked in on the overall tone, pacing, and character voices since these are not things that can be easily changed after the book is complete.)
- You approve the 15 minute checkpoint or tell me what I can do differently, I adjust and re-record until we get it perfect
- You pay half of the total cost, the other half is due when your book is complete
- I read your book and prep for recording
- I narrate your audiobook
- I edit the audio, master it to make it sound amazing, listen through to be sure I didn't miss anything and it all sounds great
- Your audiobook is ready! I send it to you and get really excited to hear what you think
Yes, it's kind of a long-winded process, but it's worth it!
