The rate card
How your price is worked out
Finished hours means the final running time of the delivered audiobook. Your manuscript length and reading pace set the finished hours, and we confirm the exact figure, and the exact price, in your written quote before production begins.
| Finished hours | How it is calculated | Your price |
|---|---|---|
| 5 hours | 5 times $200 is $1,000, plus the $400 fee is $1,400 | $1,400, the minimum |
| 7 hours | 7 times $200 is $1,400, plus the $400 fee | $1,800, the typical book |
| 10 hours | 10 times $200 is $2,000, plus the $400 fee | $2,400 |
| 12.5 hours and longer | The rate reaches $2,900 at 12.5 hours, and the maximum holds from there | $2,900, the maximum |
Books shorter than five finished hours are produced at the $1,400 minimum. Books longer than 12.5 finished hours are produced at the $2,900 maximum. Between the floor and the ceiling, the rate and the fee are the whole price.
