Book-Marketing Tip of the Day – February 6, 2018

Get on the trend to audiobooks and make more money. According to today's Wall Street Journal (Feb 6, page B2), when Audible (Amazon.com's audiobook subscription service) "owns the audiobook rights, print publishers no longer get a cut. Typically, this means more money is passed on to the author." And revenue from audiobook sales is rising, "In the first eight months of 2017, publishers' revenue from audiobooks grew 20% for the same period a year earlier, while print books only rose 1.5% and e-books slipped 5.4%."
