I've always known I had an unusual voice for a woman: a warm contralto that can do handsprings -- accents, dialects, character voices. Finally have a chance to make it WORK through ACX (Audiobook Creation Exchange).
ACX is a marketplace where professional authors, agents, publishers, and other Rights Holders can post fallow audiobook rights. At ACX, those unused audio rights are matched with narrators, engineers, recording studios, and other Producers capable of producing a finished audiobook, as well as with audiobook publishers. The result: More audiobooks get made.
My first project is SOUL WHISPERS II and is an compilation book with articles by Soul Coaches (a particular counseling system). Royalty Share means payment will be in dribs and drabs and Mailbox Money for however long. But that's okay -- for a first book. After this, there are also shots at 200-400 per finished hour. Good to have a combination of outright pay and royalties.
It will be a real challenge -- it's not just reading it (for me a piece of cake) but doing all the production and engineering too, at which I am not skilled. And the book is due in April, all 192 perfect pages. So hitch up the Stress Ponies, kids; it's all on top of my usual 40 weekends a year at psychic fairs.
By God, when I die, I will be so used up they will be able to send me back to Heaven in a tiny envelope; not a thing left or wasted.
