Darlings, if you're looking for an audiobook alternative, check out Audiobrary. It's run by my friend Julia, who is incredibly talented (narrator, writer, actor).
You can check out the why/how here (audiobrary.com/pages/about/), but if you're a writer, I'd consider working with Audiobrary/Julia.

Okay I lied. I grabbed the ingredients for another Djevellue, made the go train with 4 minutes to spare. Wound the green apple sock candy on the train while listening to Casanova LLC on the Audiobrary app. Almost at Union.

#LibraryWorkers #Labor #BookSky should know:
Audio book performers DO NOT GET ROYALTIES OR RESIDUALS for their performances! Unlike authors or actors, publishing pays them once-and-done -- often VERY little.
Fascinated to hear how Julia Whelan's audiobrary.com is changing this. More in this pod:

Julia Whelan has a new project called Audiobrary - the gist is it's a platform which gives narrators residuals (which, yes! they should get residuals!) and because she is That Excellent Bitch, her first project is INCREDIBLE. Casanova, LLC: full cast, fantastic. #romancelandia, you need this.

I agree we need to switch from Audible to libro.fm, but do you also know about the start-up created by audiobook narrator, actress, and author Julia Whelan? She created audiobrary.com as a place for telling stories because book narrators don’t receive any of the royalties from their work.

I get it but I also want to have a way to back up the audiobook in case the app goes under 🫠
