A one-stop-shop!
At Hudson Audio Publishing we try to make it as easy and as affordable as possible to get your work onto the platforms so that you start earning royalties quickly. For that reason we provide nearly everything you need in-house.
Free advice
The most common service we offer is old fashioned free advice. If you want to chat with someone about your book, seminar or other potential audio book product, just shoot us an email. We are happy to help wherever possible and there are no silly questions. We know how confusing this process can seem at first so if you need help just ask us.
A great resource to start learning about the audio book business is our blog!
Recording services
If you have a book but you don't want to read and record it yourself, we can do it for you. We have both male and female readers with a variety of accents and speech styles to suit all kinds of material. Generally speaking you will want a North American reader as most of our client's royalties are earned through the US Amazon, iTunes and Audible stores. It's not expensive to use our team either because we have already scoured the globe to find the best and most affordable talent. When we tendered the first book out for a professional voice over (120,000 word book) the quotes varied from $500 - $30,000 for the same job! On average you will pay between $1,000 and $2,000 depending on the voice you choose from the samples we will supply. We keep the cost as low as we can because if the work doesn't get onto the platforms, nobody makes any money from it.
Legal and paperwork
Probably the biggest part of what we do is all the behind the scenes work to get your products into Amazon, iTunes and Audible. We handle the whole process including; filling out the applications, the contracts, the royalty agreements and lodging the paperwork. This part really is daunting if you haven't done it before. You can rest assured that the royalty rates we quote are exactly what you would get if you went direct to Audible - we absolutely guarantee it. There would be no future (or good karma) in trying to skim our content partners income by not declaring the real royalty rate paid by Audible - besides we pay from the Audible reports.
