In my continuing efforts to support and grow this amazing indie author community, I have started a YouTube channel dedicated specifically to uploading professional recordings of independently published novels in the hopes that these wonderful authors will find more success by drawing on YouTube’s massive viewership. Publishing a novel on your own is hard enough, but adding in the costs and time for proper marketing – all while working a regular full-time job – can make the task of growing a successful following seem impossible. I had the resources to build a proper audiobook recording nook, and it makes little sense to go to all this trouble just to use it for my own works. I’m willing to set aside a little time every week for recording, and I plan to spend some of that time recording indie novels . . . possibly even yours.
Over time, my goal is to make complete recordings of as many novels as I can, and to gift the recordings back to the original author so they can turn them into a professional grade audiobook. Many indie authors don’t have the time, the money, or the equipment necessary to create their own audiobooks, so I’m happy to help. If I can grow this YouTube channel to the point where they begin paying me for views, then I will be able to devote even more time to giving back to this amazing community. This is the ultimate goal of the Indie Readings Program, and with your help, we can make this a reality.

I tend to record whatever strikes my fancy at the moment, but there are ways that you can ensure I’m spending my free time working on YOUR novel. First of all, make sure you are following my Circle of Origin, Author page on Facebook. Next, make sure you have subscribed to the Circle of Origin YouTube channel. Take some time to like a few videos and have a listen through. Most importantly, drop by the Circle of Origin Patreon and become a member. The lowest tier is only $2 dollars a month, and guarantees I will record up to an hour of your novel and add it to the channel. I will then work on expanding existing recordings until they are finished.
Patrons ALWAYS received preferential treatment when it comes to recordings, with higher tier patrons moving to the front of the line. But don’t worry! I WILL make sure your first recording is finished in a timely manner, but should you with to commit to a higher tier of support, you’ll receive advance chapters of my next novel, free eBooks, discounts on Stragus Mercantile merchandise, and more! The quicker I can quit my full-time job, the more time I can devote to making sure our indie community finally gets the love and attention it deserves!
