Morgan James Radio Episode 29: The Power of Audiobooks with David Wolf

Morgan James Radio Episode 29: The Power of Audiobooks with David Wolf

Authors devote so much into writing their book, but don’t always take the next powerful step. Audiobooks are a way for authors to connect to an audience in a way you can’t through text and pages in a book.

Listen in as David Wolf explains the power of audiobooks and why every author should consider narrating their own book. I think you’ll be motivated to want your book in audio!

Many Happy(?) Returns!

From Steve Laube: Every traditionally published author needs to understand the principle of “Reserves Against Returns” which is an integral part of publishing economics. It can reduce the amount of money an author receives in their royalty statement. It is usually a shock and elicits a phone call to their agent crying “What happened to my money?”

Did you realize that book publishing is the only “hard goods” industry where the product sold by the supplier to a vendor can be returned? This does not happen with electronics, clothing, shoes, handbags, cars, tires…you name it. If it is a durable good the vendor who buys it, owns it (which is why there are Outlet Malls – to sell the remaining inventory). Except for books. Somewhere along the line the publishers agreed to allow stores to return unsold inventory for credit. In one sense, publishers are selling their books on consignment. Bargain books are actually resold by the publisher (after getting returns or to reduce overprinted inventory) to a new specialty bargain bookseller or division of a chain (which buys the bargain books non-returnable).

Consequently book contracts have a clause allowing the publisher to establish “a reasonable reserve against returns.” By “reserve” they mean a pool of money withheld from the author…holding that money in “reserve.” The intention of the clause is to protect the publisher against paying the author for books that have been shipped and billed to a store but may eventually be returned to the publisher.

What Is “Operation Toussaint,” And Why Should You Help?

Do you know what the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the United States is all about? This 32 billion dollar industry doesn’t have the same national stage or attention as obesity, the war on drugs, racism, or terrorism, and yet it is one of the most heinous and evil practices on the Earth today that is affecting millions. Every 30 seconds, a child is sold….for sex, labor, or organ harvesting.

It’s a topic people don’t want to talk about because they don’t want to think about it. It’s too hard for most of us to comprehend this kind of darkness, but if we don’t face it, the evil will continue.

What happens when you turn on the light in a house full of cockroaches? They flee. Evil prevails when the truth doesn’t stand up for itself. That’s what this post is about today. It’s my way of turning on the light and bringing attention to a modern day slavery machine that needs to be stopped.

I was introduced to the story of a man named Tim Ballard by Nick Nanton, Wall Street Journal Bestselling author with Morgan James.

Tim Ballard was a high ranking officer in the government, and during his many operations overseas, he uncovered the dark enterprise of human trafficking happening to young children. Can you imagine the righteous indignation that rose up in him when he tried to do something about it and realized that as a government official, there was nothing the government could do because it wasn’t an American case?

Even worse, he discovered that the greatest demand for trafficking was coming from American men flying overseas to pay for a night with these children?!

Tim wasn’t willing to ignore the modern day slavery right in from of him, so he decided to leave his job, his pension, and his ranking, to start an organization called Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.).

The reason I’m telling you all this is because I want to help Tim and O.U.R. to spread the word and bring awareness through the upcoming release of the documentary “Operation Toussaint”.

About Operation Toussaint

After Tim and his team successfully arrests a ring of sex traffickers and locks them in jail, they find out that there were corrupt judges in high places that accepted a bribe to release the criminals they just locked away. Operation Toussaint is the harrowing tale of Tim’s resolve to go back to Haiti, get rid of the corruption, and find and re-arrest those men once and for all.

On July 10th, you, me, Tim, and people all over the world will tune in to watch Tim’s journey into Haiti to bring a ring of traffickers to justice. The documentary is only up for a limited time, and the goal is to get at least 1,000,000 viewers so we can shine the brightest light on this horrific evil, and crush modern day slavery once and for all.

Here’s what I need your help with:

Sign up for the limited showing of Operation Toussaint on July 10th here.

Once you’ve done so, please share the link everywhere – with your friends and family and on social media. SHARE THIS LINK
This documentary will open your eyes. It’ll change the way you see the world. It’ll make you hungry for justice, hope, and freedom for innocent children all over the world. Become a modern day abolitionist. End the war on children by joining the fight against sex slavery worldwide.
Thank you!
