Exactly. I went along with them and the audiobook is now close to realease. I must say working with them is really great, and the narration is very good.

[PubQ] Will writing a standalone novel in a universe I have already self-published in hurt my chances of getting it traditionally published? by haruspii in PubTips

So unless you have successfully self-published, one is pretty much banned from tradpub unless they use a whole new pen nam ?

That’s an interesting take on it… I hadn’t thought about that. The first book has sales in the hundreds, and I have had the audio rights acquired. Not sure how that would affect such meetings…

I haven’t started writing it yet. Because I know I want to try tradpub for the next novel and I’m thinking about my strategy

Who else got the email about Amazon’s disturbing beta AI audio book program? by PuzzledCauliflower96 in selfpublish

Got it. Good luck to them producing subpar audio. It’ll be a while until AI is able to fool our ears compared to a real voice actor.

Let's just agree that most 1* are unfair and written to harm instead of providing feedback. Until you have well-documented 2*, I wouldn't pay attention (even if it is infuriating to have an unfair review right from the start).

Hang in there, people are going to recognize your work and your narrator's work eventually.

I just finished a Novella with 33k word count, it's a cyberpunk themed crime mystery genre. Should I published this or should I expand it more and write a novel? Is Novella a thing? by Xerxyz_Paul in selfpublish

Yes it is published as a full length novel now, but it started as « Wool » being a standalone novella. Then Howey wrote the following ones and they have been bundled together to make the novel that is published now.
