Book Abridgment and Editing

We can provide the service of abridging your book. This is a specially focused type of book editing that reduces the volume of the book's text while streamlining it specifically for audio. Our book abridgement / editing procedure entails a great deal of study of the work. The book will go through no less than four separate processes before being sent back to the author or publisher for abridgement approval. Because of the special care required, abridgment and editing jobs are done on a case-by-case basis and only at the author's/publisher's request. We charge a very reasonable $500 per 10,000 words.

We find that we are publishing mostly unabridged versions of books and that consumers seem to be trending this way. But there are still many reasons why Abridgment or Editing may be perfect for your book, particularly if it is a how-to or self-help book.

Abridgment and Editing can streamline the book, making it easier for the listener to digest. It will yield a lower setup cost for you. It will also allow the audio book to be priced lower and/or allow you to take greater advantage of our Bonus Royalty Program and earn you much greater revenues.

If you have questions about Abridgment or Editing, please contact us at info@spokenbookspublishing.com

To submit your book for review, please visit our submissions page.
We look forward to reading your book!
