This is part 2 of 3.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">***<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a title=\"Making Your Book Into an Audiobook for Extra Cash (Part 1 of 3) by Liz Adams\" href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/2013\/01\/30\/making-your-book-into-an-audiobook-for-extra-cash-part-1-of-3-by-liz-adams\/\" target=\"_blank\">Last week in Part 1<\/a>, I shared with you how I got started with turning my book into an audiobook with ACX. In this post, I&#8217;ll share with you my interaction with the technician as we created the audiobook.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once ACX said my book was eligible for a stipend to cover the costs of recording, my book was posted on ACX among all the other books covered by a stipend for the recording producers to see. The recording producers get to select which books they&#8217;d like to record, if they see one that looks good. Once I told Brickshop Audio that my book was eligible, they went to the ACX website and made a formal request to record my book. I had to also go to the ACX website and formally accept their request to record my book. It can happen that if your book is eligible for a stipend, you may get many formal offers to record your book, giving you the opportunity to choose the the one you like best. Since I had already chosen Brickshop Audio, I knew which technician to go with.<\/span><br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Having everything approved and accepted, I was as excited as a leprechaun in a rainbow store. There were a few forms to fill out, like a W9 form for ACX (which is why ACX is only available in the US, for now), but it was easy-squeezy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">With the agreement now finalized, Chris and Kitty recorded the first fifteen minutes of my book for me to listen to and approve. This is always the case. The technician, as part of the agreement, must record the first fifteen minutes for the author to approve. When I first heard it, I loved it! There were a few places where I thought the performance could be changed a bit. I gave a minute-by-minute break-down of what I thought needed changing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Don&#8217;t do that!<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">By picking the narrator, you&#8217;re trusting them to record your book the best they know how. When you demand slight changes in the performance for every few minutes of it, your causing headaches for both the recording technician and the narrator. They&#8217;ll just end up losing interest in your book and you&#8217;ll probably get a worse result. The only changes you should request are ones that change the meaning of the text or misread text.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For example, part of my text was was the following:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cI hope it\u2019s still here.\u201d Stuffing her hand in her pocket she found what she was\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">looking for. Yes! <em>The Story of O!\u00a0<\/em><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cStop! Stop!\u201d Alice shouted. \u201cI have a much better story to read you!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The men talked all at once. \u201cBetter than <em>The Non-Disclosure Agreement?\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cThis is MUCH better than <em>The Non-Disclosure Agreement<\/em><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">.\u201d Alice waved the book over her head like a trophy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cWhat\u2019s it called?\u201d Several men wanted to know.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Alice read the title aloud, \u201cIt\u2019s called <em>The Story of\u2026\u201d That was strange. The title\u00a0<\/em><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>changed<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cStupid title,\u201d one man said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cYeah, kind of leaves you hanging,\u201d another said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cNo\u2014\u201d Alice stared at the cover. \u201cI didn\u2019t finish reading the full title. It\u2019s\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">just\u2026the title changed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cRead the full title, already,\u201d a man whined.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cIt says, <em>The Story of OMH.&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cOh, now that\u2019s a good title!\u201d One man cried quite pleased.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Alice opened the book and began to read aloud. \u201c \u2018Old Mother Hubbard lived in a\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">cupboard\u2026\u2019 &#8220;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Since I had forgotten to add the periods for the abbreviation, Kitty read it as &#8220;The Story of Ohm.&#8221; That was a place where I could request them to rerecord the line so that it was, &#8220;The Story of Oh Em Aich (O.M.H.)&#8221; What was great was that even though it was my fault for not including the periods, Chris and Kitty were happy to redo that recording to keep the original intention of my little joke.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once I approved the first fifteen minutes, they completed the project, I listened to it and found a few minor mistakes that needed to be fixed. They fixed them and I listened again. Always listen to the full book after every fix. Once the audio was perfect, I formally approved it on ACX.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I hired my book mentor, Ezra, to adjust the cover, because the covers for audiobooks are square, not rectangular. Once the cover was done, we uploaded that to ACX. After approving the final recordings, it took eight days before it was available for sale on Audible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Next time, in <a title=\"Making Your Book Into an Audiobook for Extra Cash (Part 3 of 3) by Liz Adams\" href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/2013\/02\/25\/making-your-book-into-an-audiobook-for-extra-cash-part-3-of-3-by-liz-adams\/\" target=\"_blank\">Part 3, I&#8217;ll cover how the profits are calculated.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">***<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Liz-Adams-Bright-Smile-200x300.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 6px;\" alt=\"Liz-Adams-Bright-Smile-200x300\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Liz-Adams-Bright-Smile-200x300-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Liz Adams, author of the erotic fairy tale<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/AlicesSexualDiscovery\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Alice\u2019s Sexual Discovery in a Wonderful Land<\/em><\/a>, <span style=\"color: #000000;\">lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA.
