6/10/2023 0 Comments Dune audio book youtube![]() ![]() ![]() Muckajev was understandably excited to lend his voice to such an iconic story. ![]() They agreed to a "royalty share deal" - that Muckajev would get a cut of each copy of the audiobook that sold (as Liptak notes, this often includes free "promotional" copies of books as well). Liptak tells the story Nikola Muckajev, a voice-over actor and audio produced who was commissioned to create a new Dune audiobook by a publisher named Harald Cooper. ![]() The company has already licensed out those audio rights. In this instance, the rights holder for Dune would be the entity that controls Frank Herbert's estate: Herbert Properties LLC. Simply put, for a legitimate book, an author will own their work ( what ACX calls a "rights holder"), and earn money on each sale (minus whatever royalties or other arrangement they make with their narrator or production company). If they're selected, they negotiate a rate and delivery timeline, and put the project into production. The way it's supposed to work is:Īuthors or Audio Rights Holders post up their project and narrators on the platform provide samples for them to review. Writer/journalist Andrew Liptak has spent years covering the nerd culture beat, and in a recent edition of his Transfer Orbit nerd culture newsletter, he uncovers a fascinating if frustrating scam rooted in Amazon's Audible self-publishing platform, ACX. ![]()
