It's been five years 😲
Time flies!
In 2020, Michael and I released our Indy audiobook of The Prophet, COVID was raging, and we decided to invite authors to contact us directly to produce audiobooks for them.
Five years later, we have a host of happy Indy authors, scores of audiobooks produced for them, and five of our own Indy audiobooks: The Prophet, Queen Victoria, Wanderer of the Wasteland, The Letters of Jane Austen, and now Hudson River Bracketed, with plans to produce its sequel, The Gods Arrive.
Such a deep pleasure to narrate Edith Wharton's writing, especially in this book where she delves into and illuminates the author's process of writing.
All our Indy audiobooks are available on multiple sites, including Awesound, a podcasting host.

Keep breathing. We will get through this together.

The Prophet - our first Indy
Hi everyone,
First blog post, to tell you about our first independent audiobook. Michael Kramer and I created an audiobook of The Prophet, by Khalil Gibran. Two full editions of the text, Part 1 with music composed by Stefan Frankenberger, and Part 2 with just our voices.
We were so moved by the timeless wisdom of this book, and wanted to share it with listeners: little did we know, when we created it, where we would be in May 2020 - even more in need of that wisdom.
We have decided to produce independent audiobooks, so we can choose our own projects, as a way of sharing work we find interesting with listeners.
We have a new website, which we hope you will visit, with information about how the audiobook industry works, how narrators get paid, what goes into making an audiobook, the different options for buying them, forms for contacting us, stories people have written to us about how they feel about audiobooks, insights into our work, and the royalty share books we have narrated.
I am new here on Goodreads, so forgive any blunders, please, and thank you for listening.
Thank you,
Stay safe, and well,
Kate.
