@authorbrandonsanderson: Exciting news for Authors!* Many of you may remember when I wrote last year about my worries regarding audiobook royalties (particularly for independent authors). I’m happy to say that this stand has borne some fruit. I’ve spent this last year in contact with Audible and other audio distributors, and have pushed carefully–but forcefully–for them to step up. A few weeks ago, three key officers high in Audible’s structure flew to @Dragonsteel offices and presented for us a new royalty structure they intend to offer to independent writers and smaller publishers. #BookTok #authorsoftiktok #BrandonSanderson

I was upset that I couldn’t get the books on audible but I am glad you have the clout to help everyone else.

I wonder if that has anything to do with Amazon beta testing an AI audiobook system?

So does that mean they will be increasing our, the consumer, rates to offset the new difference?

I’m working on my first audiobook via ACX, I just signed the contract this past month, and it’s currently 40% but with royalty split with my narrator, it’ll be 20%. If they raise that it would be HUGE
