Trance Warriors The Siege of Scarn – Readers Favourite

Not only has 2QT Author Robert C Auty received a 5* review from readersfavorite.com, he has just been informed that his audiobook Trance Warriors The Siege of Scarn has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Readers Favorite Annual Book Awards Audio Book Category.

‘… Auty skillfully developed the characters in The Siege of Scarn. He gave them depth and dimensions. Auty has developed an unusual warrior, one that readers will love. His companions add great dimension to this tale. I did not want this audio book to end. I can hardly wait to listen to the next book in this series. The plot is well done with enough twists to keep this reader eagerly turning the pages. Auty is a fantastic writer. His words paint a vivid picture. From the moment I began listening to this book I was enthralled. I hope this book is made into a movie; I will be the first one in line at our local box office!’

Reviewed by Anne B. for ReadersFavorite.com

The winners will be announced on the 1st September 2011 so we are hoping for a winning spot.  Part of the prize will be to be featured at their exhibition stand at Miami Book Fair International – not sure whether he’ll be able to attend in person though!

eBooks & Audiobooks with 2QT Publishing

eBooks

We have had a number of enquiries about eBooks so we did some homework and looked at the marketplace for a good distributor who was willing to work with us. As many of you will already know there is an array of software packages to convert your book as well as companies who offer this service – some very good, some not. We wanted to be able to offer an alternative option for those with a limited budget as well as those authors who have a physical title but want to increase their routes to market. Most important of all we wanted to maintain the quality that we strive for with all our products and services.

As we have discovered, getting your eBook to as wide an audience as possible is proving to be quite a hot topic for debate between the retailers, publishers and Nielsen’s (who issue ISBNs).  So what we have decided is to sign up with an experienced distributor who specialise in digital production and distribution to work with us. The service will include all our publishing services for our physical titles but instead of printing we will convert of your book to a number of different digital formats to accommodate the variety of platforms currently available, including Kindle and iTunes Apps

Our distributors have access to all the major retailers of eBooks and of course with Amazon’s new Kindle Store we will be on there too!

For as little as £250 you could have your book converted to a eBook – and it could be up and out there for sale in weeks rather than months.

Coming soon… An interview about eBooks where we hope it will dis-spell some of the myths and mis-information that’s out there.

If you are interested in finding how your book can be converted to an eBook then please do get in touch for an informal chat (that means no hard sell on the end of the phone!)

AudioBooks

2QT now have three Audiobooks – and more on the way.  We take a lot of pride in the production of our Audiobooks and we know that you will hear the difference.  Working with a producer who shares our approach and is as passionate about audio as we are about books! We will manage the reader, scripting, recording, production and editing, artwork and publication aspects for you.

Along with our Distributor we now have a greater ability to increase our routes to market and are looking forward to developing this service for authors and writers.

See our Q&A Article on AudioBooks

*Note: If you are using our eBook service please be aware that unlike our other services there is a contractual agreement between us and the Distributor that you will need to sign up to. Only eBooks published through 2QT will be eligible to use this service.
Royalties apply.
AudioBook products will have the option to sign up for Distribution service.
Please do not be put off by this – we would be happy to answer any queries and clarify any concerns. For more details please contact us.
