Susan May

Author of dark thrillers. She's paused her career to create a horror story for Audible titled #audiblegate. She promises in the end the good guys will triumph.

“Returns” after seven days are no longer charged to authors and now have to be reported. But the #audiblegate campaign isn't done. It needs YOUR help. @audiblegate https://t.co/u2CKIYADOQ #indieauthor #iartg #selfpublishing #writetip #writingcommunity

@doctorow @rgibli It’s a fact. I have proof. I’ll email you two about it.

[Susan May @SusanMayWriter]

You are so right! @audiblegate is fighting the good fight against the theft by @audible_com and @acx_com #audiblegate #byebyeBob #theft #greed

[Decent Fellows Press @DecentFellows]

#Audible is an #Amazon company - one of the RICHEST in the world- and yet adding returns data to the #authors earning reports became a clusterfuck.

@acx_com is a leaky boat of a website that looks like it was designed in the 80s. #audiblegate

[🌸 EEVA LANCASTER @eevalancaster]

Amazon / Audible should not allow books or audiobooks to be returned. Period. I could read a book in a day, return it and the author wouldn't get paid. I could listen to an audiobook and return it in 7 days and the author and narrator won't get paid. That's robbery.
#audiblegate

[Susan May @SusanMayWriter]

Any opportunity to push their agenda even a tragedy. @BobCarrigan @Don_Katz & @audible_com have been stealing from authors & narrators for a decade. Search #audiblegate for the truth. They are not even paying according to their contracts & they know it. #Dishonest #antitrust

A note inspired by yesterday's events sent to @insideaudible employees working in 24 global centers https://t.co/2w3Cbtj7bC

[Susan May @SusanMayWriter]

3 days to go before the promise of a new dashboard at @acx_com expires. Hey @audible_com & @BobCarrigan why the dragging feet? Trying to work out how to hide the returns cost you agreed to cover? https://t.co/qVOm0jqaj4

[Susan May @SusanMayWriter]

What do @audible_com & @acx_com pay authors? Not what they say. @BobCarrigan should be held accountable. #audiblegate #antitrust #anticompetitive

What do Rights Holders Earn Per Audible Listener Credit?

Short Answer: Much less than you think.

Unbelievable theft by @audible_com &@acx_com authors should be enraged. When an Amazon company doesn’t pay what the contracts says #antitrust #anticompetetive #audiblegate

#Audiblegate has its own Twitter a/c @audiblegate & Facebook A/C. Help our fight. Follow or Like on FB https://t.co/ZjADWfPSWr. This is just ramping up. Almost feel sorry for @acx_com & @audible_com. No, only joking. They deserve everything about to hit them. Come watch the fun!

Welcome to #Audiblegate, a/c for private group Fair Deal for Rights Holders and Narrators.
We're currently at war with @audible_com who have for years clawed back sales from authors secretly through negligent reporting, while giving away our books via "Easy Exchange" policy.

[Susan May @SusanMayWriter]

if you are an author with an audiobook for sale on Audible, then you are most likely caught in #audiblegate. It’s not just indie authors. @audible_com have got their fingers in many authors’ wallets. What are they hiding? Why won’t they give us our returns data?

"#AudibleGate is important for everyone in the publishing community, not just audiobook publishers. All of us must work with Amazon if we want to reach the readers and listeners this giant has amassed."

@agnieszkasshoes @victoriastrauss @acx_com @audible_com @IndieAuthorALLI Sorry, I didn’t see this. Of course, you can quote me. No need to even ask.

[Susan May @SusanMayWriter]

@CorneliaAmiri @pubperspectives Sadly it’s not true. Read the comments on the article. It’s a completely different story. The reporter didn’t dig deeper than the press release. #audiblegate

[Susan May @SusanMayWriter]

We’d love the real #audiblegate story to be told. It’s one of guts & unification of indie authors & @IndieAuthorALLI to fight @audible_com unfair practices. Hope @Porter_Anderson looks into it further instead of taking a press release as gospel.

[Decent Fellows Press @DecentFellows]

@Porter_Anderson Looks like you've been schooled for reporting incorrect information about the #audiblegate situation in your comments section. Please correct your article.
