Am happy with this ACX

ACX,s offering to rights holders to obtain an audio book on a royalty agreement only is a sucker's play for a producer. It gives the rights holder a FREE audio book while the producer (me) put in over 80 hours of production for a 10 hour finished audio book. Two months later I've made $12 for my huge effort. That's pathetic. Royalty payment only should be illegal. Any rights holder should HAVE to pay for the production. ACX is brokering a deal which hugely favours the rights holder and abuses the producer. Producers make little money off a royalty only agreement. Lucky if you sell 10 copies. Yet, the rights holder runs away with something for nothing. NEVER, EVER agree to a royalty only payment option. You'll get next to nothing for it. ACX should be ashamed of their ill consideration for producer's. They should post a stern warning to producer's that accepting a royalty only payment could result in very little monetary return. I'll NEVER do another book unless I get a minimum of $200 per finished hour. It's actually worth more than that but it seems many right's holders are looking for a FREE ticket to obtain an extra selling tool for NOTHING. How fair is that? NOT. It's sickening. Having fallen for this scam, I feel used, abused, disrespected, taken advantage of and CHEATED. And what has the rights holder for this professional service done? He thanked me. Wow!! Two weeks of intense work by me and the rights' holder walks away like a thief. I'm never going to live this one down.

ACX are indicative of the 'state' of modern day immoral, corrupt, greedy, profiteering trading, and all at the misfortune of the artists who create. It is now waging on for 10 long months since they, hand in hand with Amazon (who are a disgusting conglomerate) closed down my accounts, not giving me access to my Intellectual Property, lack understanding of the whole position with regard to my now paying US Tax @ 33% when i don't need to but because i can't get into my account I can't update the tax information required. Please everyone, go somewhere else for your audiobooks, boycott this rotten company. All these reviews can't be wrong about how this company trades. The CEO's and board members need to speak with us Ants to get a clear view of their greed and shameful business practices. They do not deserve one star .. trust pilot must now accommodate and allow for zero star reviews

ACX appears legit but they require a lot of unnecessary information to try and act as a middle man in the publishing industry. After trying to force me into expensive legal requirements I finally gave up and cancelled my project. It simply isn't worth arguing with people that cut and paste responses or are unaware of legal requirements. It is like they are doing something wrong but want to shelter themselves from any blow-back and force it onto their clients. I strongly suggest seeking help from any other organization that is NOT ACX.

Yeah it is really good and helpful.

Waste of time.

I tried to publish an audio book, my files passed the upload process on March 5th. After four weeks I emailed them, I was told my book was rejected due to a narrator discrepancy and an email was sent on the 8th. I replied that I never got the email in my Yahoo inbox or acx inbox and my book is still pending review. I recived a second email saying, "your book was rejected an email was sent on the 8th, upon further review your files didn't meet upload requirements, check your inbox for more information" I still have not received the rejection email or the more information email, my book is still pending review and acx's website does not show any action is required. After their horrible mishandling of my situation I told them "flat out f-ing tell me the issue" they become offended and refused to help further help desipt withholding information from me all along.

Pushed our audiobook, Perpetual Gloom, over a month ago. Have sent over half a dozen emails trying to get updates, and although they state that replies will be answered within two days, we have not received a reply. I managed to locate a phone number for support, now defunct, and was told someone would get back to me within two days - that was six days ago - still nothing. Now pursuing other alternatives such as Findway Voice.
