Robert Kingett<p>Other authors, I actually have enough audio to make a little Sightless Scribbles starter pack audiobook of sorts. Thing is, I am literally the worst with math, so if I tried to do any royalties, I would be in court quicker than you can blink because of my inadequate math skills, so what audiobook platform is everybody using? I don’t want to go with ACX because <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Audible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Audible</span></a> hates creatives and is actively trying to harm multiple creators, so does anyone have any other suggestions? Is there a platform that would handle these royalty payouts for me? I’m also not even sure if narrators get royalties or not? I paid for all of these narrations in the past. I’m just collecting them now. <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Publishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Publishing</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Author</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Authors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Authors</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/IndieAuthors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndieAuthors</span></a></p>
