Terms & Acceptance

How We Move Forward

Payment

Half down when a title is booked, which locks the studio dates. The balance is due on delivery, adjusted to finished runtime. Titles can be invoiced individually or grouped monthly.

Revisions

One round of fixes on the audiobook and one round of edits per course module are included. Extra rounds are billed hourly.

Ownership & Rights

The publisher owns the finished audiobook and the course. With Option 2 the voice model is held for the publisher and the author together. We only use it on scripts you approve, and we delete it whenever either of you asks. Author consent is recorded at the capture session.

Studio Time

  • About 2.5 booth hours per finished hour, included in the price
  • Extra studio time beyond that: $120/hr
  • Rescheduling inside 48 hours: a $500 fee for the booked studio day

Accommodation

Any production that runs multiple days includes lodging at the Brick Street King Suite on the square, at no extra cost to the publisher.

Acceptance

This quote is good for 30 days. Sign the agreement once and these rates hold for every title you send us through 2026. Each title is scheduled by email.
