Alternative to ACX for Your Audio-Book


Thinking about transforming your print book or e-book into audio?  Draft2Digital e-book distributor partners with FindawayVoices to provide an alternative to ACX.  Starting July 18, 2017, you will be able to quickly and easily start the audiobook production process, right from your D2D  publication page.
.

Once your eBook is successfully published with at least one of D2D’s distribution channels, you can start creating your audiobook with FindawayVoices, with full support from the Voices team.  You can determine your production budget, select a narrator, and have your book produced and distributed to a robust audiobook network.

.
FindawayVoices an audiobook creation and distribution service gives authors more freedom and control over their work.  With Voices, it’s easy to create and sell audiobooks to listeners in more than 170 countries, through the world’s largest audiobook distribution network.   Audiobooks are a vital part of an indie author’s strategy, allowing you to increase discoverability and reach new audiences worldwide while increasing the opportunity for revenue.   Audiobooks, eBooks, videos and learning tools are circulated in 40,000 libraries, schools, and military installations.

More Choices for Authors
Until now, authors had limited options for creating and distributing audiobooks and were often forced to surrender partial rights to their work or agree to lengthy exclusivity contracts.  Draft2Digital’s partnership with FindawayVoices, a company that aims to eliminate as many barriers between authors and audiobook listeners as possible.  On the downside: royalty-shares with the narrator are not an option at the moment.
