Recordings for Iambik Audiobooks
As regular visitors to this blog will know, I have in recent months started to record commercial audiobooks for a new publisher, Iambik Audiobooks, in addition to my free recordings for LibriVox (which I shall continue, of course). This gives me the opportunity to record more recent works, which is fun, if a little daunting.
All Iambik audiobooks are unabridged, and represent exceedingly good value. They are available as MP3 downloads, and have no digital rights management, so you can listen to them however you like.
This is all quite experimental for me. I don’t get any money up front, I just get a share of the purchase price when anyone buys them. You can buy them direct from Iambik. They are also available through the following distributors (but they all take a BIG cut, so I get less
):
- Audible.com/co.uk
- Amazon.com/co.uk
- Barnes & Noble
- iTunes
- W. H Smith digital catalogue
- Waterstones digital catalogue
The first chapter is available on Iambik for you to listen to, so that you can see if you like it before purchasing.
