Support this free project

Everything here is free but it is not free to make. Every hour of audio has to be produced, and then served to everyone who asks for it.

Open Ear Books is not a registered charity, so contributions are not tax-deductible.

We will thank a donor plainly, on our Contributors page, if you would like to be named there. Stripe tells us your name so that we can keep our accounts, not so that we can publish it, so please reach out to us here and we will add you.

Where the money goes

• Storage and bandwidth for the audio and the chapter texts.
• Producing new titles, which is the slow part.
• Cover artwork and typesetting for each edition.

Other ways to help that cost nothing

Tell somebody who would use it. Anybody who likes being read to is who this is for, teachers, reading groups, people learning English and people who find a page hard going among them, and most of them do not know it exists.

Or volunteer. Checking a recording against its text, or vetting a manuscript for inclusion, is worth more than money to a catalogue this size.
