What can you do for me?


I will narrate, edit and master your audio book for retail. I can use ACX for complete production facilitation or I can deliver the files to you direct.



Can you provide just the RAW files?

Yes, if you are a publishing house or other then I can provide just the clean punch and roll audio direct to you with no mastering.



How much will it cost me?

I charge £180 / $240 per finished hour of completed audio. If you are choosing the Royalty Share Plus option on ACX my charge is £65 / $85 per finished hour plus 20% royalties as laid out in the ACX contract. You must be the author and/or Rights Holder of the book.

 

Do you do RS projects on ACX?

I do not accept direct offers for Royalty Share Only projects on ACX.



How long will it take?

There's a 14 day minimum for production delivery. Each finished hour of produced audio takes roughly 4 hours of work to make. So for example, a 4 hour book would take around 16 hours of work. There is also prep time to consider (reading the script, making notes, checking pronunciations) and proofing of the final audio, which I generally outsource. There may also be mistakes to re-record and correct. Audio book making is a very time consuming process and I never rush it.

 

Do you work with international Right's Holders/Authors?

If we are working through ACX I can work with those based in the UK, US, Canada and Ireland. Outside of ACX I can work with any one.


How do I pay?

Payment is 50% upfront after the 15 minute checkpoint stage. The remainder paid on completion and approval by you, the Right's Holder. Payment is via bank transfer. I use Wise Business and will provide you with easy instructions on payment. Please note I DO NOT use Paypal.


Can we chat face2face?

Yes absolutely. I am available on Tuesdays and Thursdays for face to face meetings over Zoom. Please contact me to arrange a date and time. 
 
​​
What accents do you do?
 
Almost any! (Within reason). 
​
I am from the South West of the UK and my natural accent has a light Cornish lilt. However! I don't get asked to use the accent in much of my work so I use a general British accent as demonstrated in the majority of my audio books. I have used various accents in my work. General American, Southern American, German, French, Russian, Australian etc! And if it's an accent I'm not adept at, I go learn in with a coach!
 
 
What genre of books do you take on? 
 
I do cozy mysteries, romance, young adult, children's and dramas primarily. I also have horror and thriller on my resume. I do not take on non-fiction or erotica.
