I got an email today from ACX (the audiobook production platform) to say they are unilaterally changing the contract terms for how royalties are paid.
Authors need to opt into the new plan by the end of the year. Or else they will not receive any further payments. And neither will their narrators.
Surely this stretches the meaning of opt in.
They suggest that if narrators want to continue to be paid for their work, we should harass our authors to sign up for the new plan.
Que sera, sera. I'm not playing cop for ACX. (The books earn pennies at best anyway.)
When I say that I am no longer actively narrating audiobookx because the industry is a trashfire... *gestures at everything*
*Before some reply guy shows up to say, "You should sue!"... hahah, no I should not.
If you're an audiobook listener: support your narrators while you can.
If you're an author who has used ACX in the past, make sure to update your contract.
If you're a narrator, good luck.
If you want to buy my books while I'm still getting paid, you can find them here:

For indie authors, audiobooks can expand reach and open new revenue streams, but the costs add up fast.
I look at budget-friendly audiobook production, from DIY recording and editing to freelance narrators and full-service options, and cover:
🎙 PFH costs
🎧 recording setup
✂️ editing pitfalls
📈 distribution + discoverability -

A question for audiobook readers and, er, readers: how might one indicate that a person is speaking a second language?
In the text, the dialogue in the other language is marked with guillemets in place of quote marks, but how does one convey this in audio form?
Accent won't work, as characters of multiple origins use both languages.
How have you heard this handled? All suggestions, ideas, advice (& boosts) welcome!

2292 - I'm thankful for the D&D stream Punch 'n' Roll—among other things, because it's so cool to see how great my cousin Emily is at playing in character.
