Independent Authors

So excited you asked! fill out the form or send me an email to get the conversation started.

• We can work independently where I send my contract

• I can set you up with one of the production companies I work with to handle the bulk of the project

• Or we can work through ACX

• You can also request me if you get picked up by a publisher or choose to work with a production company!

I truly love working with Indie Authors. If you look at my rates and immediately start to hyperventilate, please don’t run! Send me a message and if I can work it out with you, I will! I do consider Royalty Share Plus projects.

Another option, some Authors use funding from Kickstarter to get their audiobook into production.

I get it, you’ve already gone through an extensive process creating your book and the audiobook industry can feel like a whole new intimidating monster to slay. No worries, I’ve got you! You don’t need to come into this with all the knowledge!

If we are working together, I have an extensive welcome packet to detail the whole process and give you a better idea what to expect. If you have specific questions, send me an email and I’ll do my best to answer them for you!

I have a detailed welcome packet if we work together but here’s the down and dirty basics.

• We decide to work together (yay!) and if we’re working independently, I send my contract along with AI rider.

• You provide a PDF or Word doc of the fully edited record ready manuscript and any character notes (more info provided in packet)

• I read the whole manuscript and take notes along the way

• I go through the whole manuscript again, this time highlighting character dialogue, more notes and vocal choices.

• I will record a 15 minute checkpoint . This is when you get to provide any feedback and approve.

• I record the rest of the book

• Once recorded, I send to my preferred sound company that will proof, send me any pickups (mistakes I made to re-record), edit and then master

• When the project is proofed, edited and mastered, you have a retail ready product ready to go!

Sometimes demo samples aren’t quite enough to see if I’m the right voice for your book baby. Not to worry! I offer a free 3-5 minute “audition” sample (usually 250-500 words) to help with your decision. You can choose one full section or a couple smaller ones with different tones and characters.

Absolutely! Yes!! Send me an email and we can discuss! My rates vary depending on whether you need clean RAW audio or full production. If you are looking for a male narrator, I have sources to find and audition the right male narrator for your project!

Yes! I just have a minimum charge of one finished hour
