Yes, you read that right! I’m putting my audiobooks on YouTube where you can listen to them for free. It’s equal parts exciting and terrifying, but I’m diving in and I’m hoping you’ll help me make a big enough splash.
Why put your audiobooks on YouTube for free?
Great question, and one I’ve put A LOT of thought and research into over the past few months…
Ultimately, it’s an experiment.
My goal is to reach a wider audience. I enjoy using YouTube to find and learn about new things, so maybe having my audiobooks there will help new readers discover the world of Jane Austen fanfiction. How wide that audience is, I don’t know. I hope it’s enough to make this experiment successful so that more authors will follow suit.
Until then, I’m willing to take one for the team because it means that I can make my stories available to readers on a fixed income and the visually impaired as well as anyone, like me, who is fascinated with the Regency era and Jane Austen fanfiction.
Okay, then, so why aren’t all of your audiobooks on YouTube already?
I would love to put all of my audiobooks on YouTube immediately, but some of them are locked into contracts that don’t allow me to share… yet.
Until those titles become available, I hope you enjoy what’s already available as well as my upcoming new releases!
Wait, your newest release will be available on YouTube?!
Yes! In fact, Stevie Zimmerman signed the contract and is currently producing A Cleverly (Un)contrived Compromise.
Are your audiobooks available anywhere else?
Yes. Besides Audible, I’m working on uploading them everywhere—even libraries!
Cool! How can I help?
