Audiobooks: At present we do not publish them, but they are currently rising in popularity and increasing their percentage share of the market year on year, so we may look to include them in the future. They can be expensive to produce, particularly if professional actors are used, and in that case are really only worth the investment if your book is selling in the high thousands. You can produce one yourself it you want to, up to Audible’s standards, with a free audio-editing program called Audacity. Or you can record one yourself with the help of an app like Recordio https://www.authorsrepublic.com/creation, or you can go to a studio. If you would like to have someone record an audiobook for you, one of our authors in the JHP family, Rafe Beckley, is an actor, narrator and audiobook producer. Rafe offers special discounted rates for any author from a JHP imprint. Please see AUTHOR SERVICES: AUDIOBOOKS for his contact details and a more detailed breakdown of the process and the current industry.
Ebooks: We publish virtually every title as an ebook as well as in print, but there are possible complications. See the section on Ebooks in Chapter 8.
