Direct Sales and Author Control The Future of Audiobook Publishing

September 15, 2026·33 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Authors face massive challenges with low royalties and zero pricing flexibility when using traditional distribution channels. Host Juliet Clark sits down with guest Becky Parker Geist, Founder and CEO of Pro Audio Voices, to discuss how authors can regain audiobook publishing control through direct sales platforms. They examine how creators lose rights and profits to retailer subscriptions that give away content for free. By taking back ownership, authors can build direct relationships with listeners and set their own promotional pricing. Discover why community building and direct author-to-listener engagement form the backbone of sustainable publishing success. Learn how human narration creates an authentic connection that artificial voices can never replicate.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share! https://superbrandpublishing.com/podcast/
