Project Budget

Each production is limited to $5,000 USD funding. If a production exceeds those costs, the author will incur the cost difference.

Neither party shall be liable to the other for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special or exemplary damages, including, but not limited to, loss of profits, or loss of business opportunity, even if such damages are foreseeable and whether or not either party has been advised of the possibility thereof.

Neither party shall, without permission, publicly share any trade secrets or confidential information including any information gathered or shared through the application process. All information will however be shared with Audio in Color’s panel of judges.

Publicity

Upon being named a recipient, you agree to participate in targeted promotional activities including social media and one video for the #brownnipple challenge.

Credit

When your audiobook is published the end credits will include the line “This presentation was made possible in part by a grant from Audio in Color.”

Right to Copy of Finished Work

The recipient shall remain the sole rights holder for all completed audiobooks. Producer may retain a digital copy of the finished project and agrees that Lyric Audiobooks® may use a portion of the copy on its website or in other ways for promotional purposes, subject to the Confidentiality clause above.

Selection Process

Each application is fully reviewed by a panel of judges made up of volunteers who are active in the romance and/or audio community. Each review includes reading the submitted manuscript and all information shared during the application process.
