How to add/remove audiobooks on Authors Direct

Audiobooks can easily be added or removed from your Authors Direct store using the Authors Direct dashboard. 

Adding Audiobooks

Search for your audiobook using the search bar. If you can't find your audiobook, double check that it's been submitted for distribution for at least 7 days.

Click the audiobook you want to add from the search bar to add it to the list of audiobooks on your storefront. You can change the Purchase Price of the audiobook if you want to set a price different than your list price. 

Remember: the audiobook must be distributed through Findaway Voices at least 7 days prior to adding the audiobook to Authors Direct.  

Removing Audiobooks

Removing audiobooks is as easy as adding them. On the same Add/Remove Audiobooks tab, remove audiobooks by clicking the red trashcan on the far right side of the audiobook row. Remember to save your changes.

 

Important Note: Adding or removing audiobooks from your storefront is instantaneous.
