Why Authors Direct?
First off, Authors Direct is a new service offered by Findaway Voices, through which I produced and now distribute the audiobook version of the novel. Keeping the production, distribution and e-commerce all in the family, as it were, simply makes for a friendly integration of technologies and rock solid, professional quality customer service. Authors Direct also handle my sales tax concerns, provide reports and otherwise help me spend more time writing and less time managing an e-commerce website.
From the listener’s perspective no perceivable difference exists between buying your copy of the audiobook from my Authors Direct storefront or, say, Amazon’s Audible.com. That is to say, besides the handful of differences noticeable within the various apps the listening experience is the same.
Meanwhile, the Authors Direct option happens to provide higher royalties to me as the author but most importantly it allows me to maintain full control over the pricing and promotion of the novel. Authors Direct, in their own words, seeks to provide:
- Instant Delivery: Customers can instantly listen to audiobooks in the Authors Direct app after purchase. First-time users are emailed instructions on how to download the app and set up their account.
- Offline Listening: Listening can happen anywhere with full offline playback support.
- Speed Control: Fine-grained controls let users listen at their own pace.
- Chromecast: Your audiobook can be cast from the app to any Chromecast or Google Home device.
- Ad-free: Whether listeners are purchasing online or listening in the Authors Direct app, Authors Direct is a completely ad-free experience.
- Safe for Work Mode: An Authors Direct-exclusive feature that allows listeners a discrete solution to wandering eyes on their phone screens.
- Ease of use:
