How many words are in my book? Your word processor will tell you. For example MS Word...in the Tools tab there is an item called Word Count. Just open your book file and click on Tools and then on Word Count.

If your book is not in your word processor, just pick a page that is full with words. Count the number of words from left to right. Then count the number of lines from top to bottom. Multiply the two numbers. For example, 10 words across X 32 lines = 320 words per page X a 280 page book = 89,600 total words. You would round this number to 90,000 words and use the rate of 2.6 cents per word to arrive at the accurate base cost.

The audiobook production process.

Audio book production for the spoken word can have a widely varying production ratio, anywhere from 4:1, (i.e. 4 hours of work for every hour of finished product) to as much as 12:1 (i.e. 12 hours of work for every hour of finished product). Considerations of pacing and style for the delivery and attention to detail in recording, proofing, editing, and mastering are the largest contributing factors.
