In a searing exposé, author John O’Melveny Woods sheds light on the exploitative tactics employed by Amazon in the audiobook market, leaving authors struggling to earn a fair share of their own creations. With his firsthand experience detailed in a compelling narrative, Woods unveils the detrimental impact of Amazon’s policies on authors and the broader literary landscape.
Woods, a prolific author and founder of Intellect Publishing, LLC, has launched a passionate crusade against Amazon’s monopolistic control over audiobook sales. His letter reveals the stark reality faced by authors attempting to navigate Amazon’s intricate system, where visibility and earnings are increasingly elusive.
“I was utterly stunned by the depth of Amazon’s undermining of authors’ compensation for their endeavors to promote and sell their audiobooks,” says Woods. “Most authors have no idea they will not be paid or paid very little for their efforts Amazon’s tactics not only gnaw away at authors’ incomes, but they also suffocate the very creativity and diversity in our passions and professions.”
Among the practices outlined in Woods’ letter is Amazon’s offering of audiobooks for free or .99 cents a month through a three-month trial, essentially making individual purchases financially impractical.
“This is a chilling wake-up call for authors and consumers alike,” urges Woods. “We must unite to demand fair compensation for our works, and equitable treatment within the audiobook and publishing industries.
