3 hours and 40 minutes of material giving you specific, actionable tools for building and maintaining relationships with clients. This is part two of a business course designed to help narrators learn the tools they need to go full time, work with publishers, and take their careers to the next level. This course builds on the tools learned in the Branding and Marketing course and is less impactful without it. It's highly recommended you take both courses.
Purchasing with guidance gives you two thirty minute check-ins to work with Emily one-on-one. After watching the first two videos, 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
