Hi
Did your publisher ever sell your audio rights? If so, were the sales good, did you get input on the voices used to narrate? What do you think about audio sales? Are they comparable to your e-book or print book sales? Of course every genre is different, and I wrote a New Adult Contemporary Romance. Are audio sales of books on the up, especially with the rise of companies like Audible? I understand they also buy audio books from other audio pubs.
My publisher, Harlequin Carina Press, has just sold the worldwide English and library audio rights to my debut novel, to Tantor Media. I understand they are well-respected, with publishers like Penguin having sold rights to their books to them.
Of course, I am doing a little happy dance as I never thought my little book would get picked up for audio, but this is new territory for me and I'm wondering if anybody can share their experiences of the audio book world? Did it impact your sales or lead to more visibility? I have to confess I cannot wait to hear my book being read. Very excited!
Thanks for sharing!
