The Short Version:
Ever since the middle of September I’ve been working on audiobook versions of some of my books. I NOW finally have audiobook versions of some of my books. They are on sale on my new digital storefront at: payhip.com/CameronMcVeyAuthor
The more observant of you will notice that the above is not a link to Amazon. This new online store is fully in my control and takes a smaller percentage of the sale price. Amazon is great in many ways (I’ve used it for years now) but I’ll have more control over my products by selling through payhip.
I have six audiobooks up now. All three Lewis Hurdy Mystery books, the first two books of the K.C. Hall series and Real Monsters.
Did I mention they were on sale? For the next two weeks?
Did I mention this is my new storefront: payhip.com/CameronMcVeyAuthor?
The Long Version:
I’ve wanted to add audiobook versions of my books for about two years now. The standard, hire-a-voice-actor-to-read-my-books approach was out of my price range. So I noodled around with a number of different text-to-speech software options. A LARGE number of options. It took me a long time to find the one that matched my needs (quality, price, ease of use, etc.). I found that service (revoicer.com) back in September. I used it to produce the Lewis Hurdy and the Real Monster audiobooks. The two K.C. Hall audiobooks were created using another service called authorvoices.ai.
Making the audiobooks with revoicer took approximately one month per book. Then it took me another six weeks to integrate Bookfunnel.com with my new payhip.com site. Bookfunnel will distribute both my audiobooks and ebooks. Also, they will provide any technical assistance and support needed.
So, when you buy one of my products on payhip, you’ll get a Thank You Card from that site then, within a minute of purchase, you’ll receive an email from Bookfunnel.com with the download link. I know it sounds a little complicated but I had a friend run through the process for me and it went smooth as silk.
So, here they are. Six audiobooks. A new online store. A two week sale.
Each audiobook and ebook on payhip does have a preview file so you can check out a sample before purchasing.
Now, finally, it’s time to get back to writing.
