Audiobooks:
We are actively growing our audiobook catalogue and would love to to take a look at your book/ series for audiobook publication. Your audio will stay exclusive, earning the most revenue on the largest publishing platform. We value all clients, offer better deals than all the competition, produce faster, pay promptly and provide excellent as well as quick communication. If you’re skeptical, ask around, we are the real deal with a track record to prove it.
Email Submissions@royalguardpublishing.com
Include link to your book / series or royal road story.
Authors:
We have select writing work. Paid, 30 per 1k words with royalty share after costs are repaid. You take my premise or my half written book and roll with it. Co-write or just your name on cover is fine. Guaranteed pay at completion. Work at your schedule. It’s not pay as you go, so if you don’t finish, its not a big deal. Editing and marketing team support. Unfortunately, you need a high level of writing skill or great storytelling to make the cut. However, a lot of great writers fall flat on marketing / making money. This adds a cushion, builds a pen name, and yeah, some of the concepts are pretty darn fun to write about.
Not accepting scripts or concepts prewritten. Some exceptions may apply based on writer history/skill set.
In summary, I have money, I always pay, I’m fair to work with, this is not ghost work, it is just getting more stuff under a winning banner while adding some security to writers.
Narrators:
We are actively looking to grow our narrator roster. Duets are needed and single female narrators. If you are interested in working with us
Email publisher@royalguardpublishing.com
Include samples or links to your website and your PFH rates for single and duet narration.
After much deliberation, and yes, we have PG content, we have made it a requirement that adult content be something you are comfortable with. A pen name to mask your identity is perfectly okay. We just have had LitRPG that is not X rated hit content checks with narrators that result in lots of lost time and effort.
What to audition with. Yes, it’s odd but it totally ruins AI narration from getting past our guard. Plus, we get a kick out of your Connery accents. If you met the cut, we will reach out, if not, just keep resubmitting once a month. If you are at this point, maker sure the audio is professional quality, because if it’s not, you won’t be hired.
In a sultry tone, Angelica said, “Oh, you’re visiting. I hope it is worth the wait.”
Danny whispered, “I got your money.”
“What!” Angelica blurted. She tucked her head down and muttered, “Liar.”
“Angie, ya know I like my money,” Danny said in a terrible Sean Connery voice. Angie folded her arms.
“Fine, where is it?” She swapped to an Italian gangster accent. “Before I send my boys after ya.”
Danny rolled his eyes, moving his head with them. “I swear,” he said with a light chuckle. (Add a light chuckle but don’t read this bit) “You need to lay off on the accents.”
Editors:
We are hiring. You’ll be tested in a couple of ways. We never shy away from the fact that editing is lackluster in compensation and want to be transparent. We gamble on the book, you get a guaranteed payday.
Content editing – pretty much coauthor editing where you heavy handed add to the story while finetuning it. Helping remove stilted dialogue, increasing exposition, turning some passive to active, and more; it is rather intensive. (Offering pay incentives, bonuses, and even royalty share %)
Generic editing – you fix common syntax, sentence structure, repeated words, weak verbs replacement, and general typos. (Generally 300 to 550 USD per 100,000 words depending on the editing proficiency)
Proofing – all you do is find blatant errors while reading the book. (By the book rate since fans help us with this as Apex Readers. Ranges from 25 to 100 per book)
