Findaway Voices gives authors a 45% Audiobook royalty with Apple iBooks

Apple iBooks sells both audiobooks and ebooks through their app for iOS. This is pretty well the only way you can make in-app purchases on the iPad and iPhone, since most other companies do not want to give Apple a piece of every sale that they make. Findaway Voices is a relatively new platform that launched in July of 2017 and it provides an alternative to Amazon ACX, which is primarily only available to Americans. Today, Findaway announced that authors who self-publish through their platform will get a 45% royalty on every audiobook sold through Apple.
