Make Sense Of Audiobook Distribution Before You Commit To a Path
A free, on-demand workshop for independent authors navigating audiobook release decisions.
This is the recorded replay of Audiobook Distribution Simplified, a live 60-minute session led by award-winning narrator, director, and producer Tavia Gilbert, and audiobook publisher and global industry expert Michele Cobb.
The workshop was created for authors who want to understand how audiobook distribution actually works today — across retail platforms, aggregators, libraries, and global markets — before making decisions that affect their rights, royalties, and long-term reach.
This session does not promote a single platform or “one right way.” It provides context, trade-offs, and clarity so you can choose a path that fits your goals.
What This Workshop Will Help You Understand
In this focused, high-value session, you’ll walk through how audiobook production and distribution are approached by professionals — without confusion, overwhelm, or costly missteps.
- The three main audiobook distribution paths and how to evaluate them based on your goals, royalties, and rights
- Common production and distribution mistakes authors make when navigating audio independently
- What’s changed in AI and audiobook technology and what those changes mean for creators today
- How to align your creative goals, revenue model, and audience reach before you ever hit publish
