COMPLETE Full Time Narrator Business Skills Course WITH GUIDANCE

$675.00

This course gives you over 7 hours of specific, actionable tools to help narrators go full time, work with publishers, and take their careers to the next level.  
 
In part one of this course, we take a deep dive into branding and marketing for audiobook narrators. 
 
In part two of this course, we create the tools needed to build relationships with potential clients and work on the tools needed to make a great first impression. 
 
Purchasing with guidance gives you four thirty minute check-ins to work with Emily one-on-one. After watching the first two videos, Emily will personally help you find your authentic brand and give you feedback on how to improve your website. Then you'll meet with Emily for feedback on your new and improved website. After video number six, Emily will help you fine-tune your cover letter for indie authors. After you've finished the course, she'll work with you on your cover letter to publishers and answer any questions raised during the course.
 
This course does not cover anything to do with audiobook performance or setting up your recording space to meet publisher or ACX specs. It's recommended you already have these things in place before taking this course.

Testimonials
"I just wanted to share the good news! I successfully negotiated a PFH deal through a cold email!!! I'm one hundred percent sure that this was made possible because of your coaching re: website building and cold letter writing. Not only that, but responses indicating interest and asking for more information have increased. I'm just super excited! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" - Raquel Beattie, Audiobook Narrator
