Ep. 324 - Audiobooks in Episodes: The New Academy Voices Story Series, with Gabby Nistico

Send us Fan Mail Academy Voices has something new called Story Series, and in this episode Gabby Nistico and I talk about what it is and why we built it. A Story Series is a story told in episodes, with a new one out every week. Listeners can buy one episode at a time or a season pass. Kindle Vella closed in 2025, and very few places give serial writers an audio version of their work. That's the gap we wanted to fill. Serials aren't new, either. Charles Dickens put his novels out in monthly parts. We also get into why a series means ongoing work for narrators. Gabby shares what she's seeing in commercials as the holiday ads pick up. What you'll learn: What a Story Series is and how listeners buy it Why serial writers need a place for audio now How Dickens and O. Henry made serials popular long ago How narrators get paid on a series What's happening in commercial voice over this time of year Find out more about Story Series at https://academyvoices.com/story-series Academy Voices is the alternative to ACX.
