Friday Poll With a Point: Audiobook Pricing

[jeriendhal]

The last of the corrections have been made to the audiobook edition of Captive of the Red Vixen and I've sent payment to David Dorse for his work. At this point all that needs to be done is for the new cover art to be provided by Meg Syverud and a technical evaluation to be done by Audible.

So now seems to be a good idea figure how much I'm going to charge for the darned thing. The problem is four and a quarter hours it's a novella, not a full novel, so I can't really justify going too high on it. On the other hand, going less that $14.95 might be foolish, since I might lose the people who have Audible monthly subscriptions and pay that much per month for any of the books they get on their monthly credits, and might not want to waste it on something cheaper.

Opinions welcome...

No idea, really. Apart from CotRV on KS, the last time I bought an audiobook they were still selling them on cassettes.

May I just say how brave I think you are for even *doing* an audio version? I've thought about it and keep backing away very slowly.

$10 sounds pretty good for a four hour audiobook on Audible.

I've spent money outside of my subscription for short ones. I save the subscription for big ones that are more than eight hours and are more expensive than the monthly cost.
