Audiobook runtime and cost
Finished runtime from your word count, the studio hours behind it, and what narration costs per finished hour or on a royalty share.
The book
Finished hours are what everyone quotes and pays on. Studio time is several times longer,
which is why narrating it yourself is rarely the cheap option once you price your own week.
