📣 Did you know that we recently opened our distribution department up to the public?
It had previously been reserved for our production clients, but we've been hearing from so many authors who produced their audios before hearing about us and then had no good way of getting to retail (without giving up more royalties) that we decided to change the way we do things.
🤑 You read that right: We don't take royalties. There are already so many hands in that pie and we don't want to reduce your royalty percentage even more. We operate on a one-time flat fee that covers the lifetime of your distribution contract (7-years).
And the best part is, because we're handling the royalty payouts, we can divvy it up however you want. Whatever percentage or payment structure you can dream up, we can execute. And there are no global restrictions, either. We accept clients from all across the globe. 🌎
Sound too good to be true? Reach out and let's discuss details. 📧 [email protected]

Kicking off the narration of the Sci-Fi series, “Federation Marine 1: Recruit” by Jonathan P. Brazee, for Audiobook Empire.
About the series: Desperate to escape a life of poverty on his desolate home planet, Ryck Lysander enlists in the United Federation Marine Corps, hoping to make a better future for himself. However, Ryck soon discovers that the Corps is more than a means of escaping his former life as he is pushed beyond the very limits of his strength and willpower.

✨ "Story Time with the Empire" is Audiobook Empire's new podcast, in which narrators are briefly interviewed and read a public domain work of their choosing (and our approval). The goal is to provide a platform for our narrators to showcase their talent in long-form and give listeners the chance to get to know them a little better.
The new trailer just dropped:

At this time, these opportunities are being exclusively offered to narrators in the Empire's "Talent Legion". There's a sign-up form in the Talent Legion Facebook group.
Please note that you can still be featured on the podcast without committing to a reading. Simply record the message in the top of the trailer's description.

🎧About the Audio🎧
For as long as she can remember Millie has had her limits. Staying within them keeps her isolated, safe; helps her to cope. Why then have they started to feel so stifling? Why is her loneliness starting to rival her fears?
When she watches him she wishes she could be normal; she wishes she could be like the people he interacts with so seamlessly. Pavlos Martakis is her complete and total opposite: physically intimidating, likeable, naturally attractive, extremely confident, sexually promiscuous: the most uninhibited, charming, outgoing and free person she has ever encountered in her life. He fascinates Millie; thrills and intimidates her in equal measure.
But, as the culprit behind the invention of her nickname Nuclear Winter, Millie knows that if Pav feels anything for her it is more than likely contempt. Cold, boring, robotic: that is how the rest of the hospital sees her. So she can safely watch him from afar. He would never notice her … would he?
If you do nothing else today, watch this. ✊

Casting Announcement!
We are looking for some additional male voices to audition for a Christian YA Sci-fi series. There are various books that will need a male narrator in this series, so that means multiple chances!
A General American or light Boston accent is preferred for the first two that are up.
These will likely be recorded in the Fall, so it's a ways out but we want to get them cast soon. Email us at [email protected] for more information and to audition.

[AUDIOBOOK EMPIRE HAS ENTERED THE CHAT]
I am one proud Empress! 👑 The Empire is represented thrice over at tonight's APA New Narrators Workshop.
🎙️ THAT'S A WRAP! Now it's off to post production!
This brought me back to how life was for me when I was growing up (not falling in love with a sexy cowboy, unless Garth Brooks counts? I had a huge crush on him when I was little). There were so many phrases, ways of life, and little details about this cowboy romance that made me remember dressing in button-up shirts, jeans, and cowboy boots. I was brought back to feeding the horses, walking them in feet of snow during a storm to make sure they didn't get colic, and camping with my family for an annual horseback rise at a local lake.
The story of Beau and Jess is so unbelievably sweet. I am so thankful to for this opportunity and to my co-narrator, Tyler Darby. I hope y'all love this when it comes out!
🎵TAKE IT BACK NOW Y'ALL🎵
As we get ready to cha-cha slide into Audiobook Month, we're rolling out our plans for the Empire's first ever "Workshop Rewind".
As a prelude to our annual "State of the Empire" address on June 24th, we'll be rewinding some of our favorite workshops and introducing a few new ones as well!
We've put together a stellar lineup of workshops and special guests for the week, all leading up to our headlining act on Saturday. Heidi Dean of Marketing4Actors will be taking the stage just after the imperial address.
This Rewind event is open to the public, but only for narrators, and we'll be letting a limited number of you "backstage" when we open our Talent Legion application June 8th-10th. The events held on June 19th are for our newest Legionnaires. The Workshops start on the 20th.
June 25th is reserved as an optional make up day for anyone not able to attend the Cold Calling and Royalty Sharing workshops earlier in the week.
We're charging an admission fee in order to compensate our guests and offering sponsorships upon request.
Remember that all times listed are Eastern and that these events are LIVE. There will be no recordings and no replays.
🎟Get your ticket by RSVPing here: https://audiobookempire.com/ae-workshop-rewind-rsvp/
🌟 Tickets go on sale immediately and are available through May 30th. As a gift from the Empire, all existing Legionnaires can attend Saturday's events for free. Those with a Full-Access Pass will also have access to Saturday's events.

🎧💜 Trouble on Main Street 💜🎧 "A cozy mountain town, a sweet romance, and a secret society of sneaky women. The sleepy hamlet of Sugar Mountain harbors a secret society of women. Don’t misunderstand—the society itself is not secret—it’s the true nature of the group that is hush-hush. Sugar Mountain is the kind of charming village that tourists adore. If you like small-town charm, quirky shops, and local art, this is the place for you. But when a blood smeared package shows up at the post office and it appears to be linked to a scheme that threatens Heidi Collinsworth’s historic home, the town takes on a sinister vibe. Heidi would lay odds that slimy Mayor Winslow is involved, but even with the enquiring skills of The Sugar Mountain Ladies Historical Society at work, proof is scarce. With conflicting theories abound and tensions running high, it’s up to the ladies of the society to don disguises and go undercover. If they’re not careful, the town may fall to a wrecking ball, Heidi may fall for Adam, the new guy in town, and the secret society will be exposed."
True mates are found in the most unlikely of places. Rhy, a weretiger with a heart so big, that when an elderly woman comes in looking for her lost cat, Mr. Fluffkins, Rhy knew he had to help. He had no way of knowing that it would lead him to his true mate. Dillan (Mr. Fluffkins), has lived his whole life wishing he was more than just a cat. He never felt right walking around on four paws. He tried to be a normal cat; tried to talk to other animals but it wasn’t possible. They couldn’t think in full sentences or communicate. It was more of a feeling they had than what they thought. He watched television, so he could studying humans and what they did. He wanted to interact like humans. Dillan ached to have what they have. Love, loss, and tender moments. A dream to have the one person that completes you. #comingsoon #Audiobooks #ParanormalRomance #PNR #ShifterRomance

🎧Advanced Listening Copies now available!🎧 Lincoln James Legacy: War Child is the long awaited sequel to Olivia's Hope released in 2018. War Child is not so much about war itself, in fact, there is very little actual war within the pages, but it is about surviving after the war. Even years and decades later. It's about good soldiers and innocent civilians, especially children recovering from the unseen wounds and deep scars left behind after witnessing the brutality of war. The insults of your mind and heart, seen and experienced, especially from the perspective of an innocent little girl. It’s about wolves and sheep and the quiet, unassuming sheepdogs of the world that try to keep the wolves at bay. It's about Love and Joy and the kind of Friendship that we all dream about and desperately desire. It's about loss and grief that no one is immune to. Some of us bear more of that burden than others. It’s about tradition and honoring those that have gone before you. Those Once again, It's about being completely content in your misery. Then, Life comes along and drags you kicking and screaming back into the sunshine. When the wonderful light first hits your eyes, you blink a couple of times because you aren't used to it. Then you smile and suddenly wonder, "Why did I wait so long?" Kevin Karella Amanda Stribling, Audiobook Narrator
Fans of #HistoricalRomance are going to LOVE this upcoming #Audio release of FOREVER MINE by Monica Burns performed in duet narration by Stephanie Nemeth Parker & Zachary Johnson.
