We’re producing an audiobook for A Hero’s Curse.
The story has been selected by ACX, (an Amazon Platform), and Audible as a part of their production stipend program – in other words, they are paying to produce A Hero’s Curse as an audiobook.
They look at past print and eBook sales, recent sales velocity, user reviews, date of first publication, genre, and estimated running time (on ACX, longer is better) to determine eligibility and select stories that resonate.
Basically, they looked to you, our fans, backers, supporters and encouragers. You’ve read, shared, liked and shouted, and now, here we are.
I still retain creative control, and get to approve our narrator in association with ACX and Audible. We’ve been flooded with auditions over the past week. Audio producers see payment will be coming from ACX/Audible – so they know the check will be good. 🙂 But on a deeper level, we see and hear that this is a story that continues to speak and grow and impact – you have loved the story, and now others are finding it as well.
I’m grateful for you, excited about this announcement, and looking forward to the adventure ahead.
