After careful consideration, I’ve decided to forego publishing an audible audiobook with virtual voice, an innovative feature offered by Amazon for qualifying books. My reasons for opting out represent my own opinions which are not criticisms of this handy publishing tool.
First and foremost, I’m not keen on lending an ear throughout an entire audiobook for each of my publications to check for possible pronunciation edits.
Also taken into consideration, the suggested average pricing based on book length. Keeping in mind my two latest publications, ‘Aileen’s Guesthouse’ at 347 pages, and ‘Etta’s Fishing Ground’ at 429 pages:
Most audiobooks range from 10 to 15 hours in length for a typical novel around 300-400 pages, recommending a price of $18 - $25. This strikes me as cost prohibitive for prospective readers.
Therefore, I’m sticking with my Kindle and Paperback editions.
In the capacity of a writer in the trenches of drafting my Contemporary work in progress, I’ve just finished chapter 15 (1376 words).
*May each of us make wise decisions reflecting our creative ambitions.My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
