Smashwords Enters Audiobook Market with Findaway Voices - Smashwords

Panzer was shaken from his morning nap by loud noises coming from the Catosphere. Our intrepid kitty jumped in the Panzermobile to see what was going on. Once he got into the Catosphere the cheering and clapping nearly deafened him. Following all the excitement took our poor kitty boy to theSmashwords Blog. There he found a post about Smashwords entry into the audiobook market.

According to the post by Smashwords founder Mark Coker, Smashwords has signed a partnership agreement with Findaway Voices. Smashwords authors are now able to use Findaway to produce and globally distribute audiobooks of their ebooks. The post says Findaway narrators charge between $150.00 to $400.00 per hour to produce the finished audiobook. It also says, if you have a professional audiobook already finished, you can upload it to Findaway for distribution. Findaway distributes to 20 sites globally including Audible.

I see an audiobook in my future.

Panzer says, "This little kitty thinks he needs to get and account with Findaway for production and distribution of Cats and Crime."

Note: This is a longish post with several links. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin for today's reading selection. If you plan to follow the links in the post, bring a thermos of tea and six muffins.

Panzer had hardly entered the Catosphere today when he heard clapping and cheering ahead of the Panzermobile. Following all the hullabaloo took our speedy kitty to The Digital Reader site. There he found a post about Draft2Digital's newest service.
