Audible Escape was launched in 2017 under the name Audible Romance, which was immensely loved by subscribers for giving listeners access to an immense library romance audiobooks in exchange for a flat monthly fee. However, last month, Audible introduced a new general interest all-you-can-listen plan called Audible Plus which has essentially replace Audible Escape.
Audible Plus includes titles across multiple genres, including Romance, as well as shorter-form titles, podcasts, and Audible Originals.
On September 15, 2020, Audible sent out an email, informing authors and users that it is going to shut down Audible Escape subscription service on November 1. Here’s the email that was sent to users:
Audible Escape (formerly known as the Audible Romance Package) will end on 1 November per an email from ACX.
Since November 1, 2017, Audible Escape has provided avid romance fans with countless hours of entertainment and enjoyment, including your titles. We’ve learned so much about what customers are looking for in an unlimited listening membership, inspiring new offerings and services that present members a diverse selection of titles across a mix of formats (such as audiobooks, podcasts, and Audible Originals) as well as lengths and genres.
As of 1 November, Audible will no longer offer the Audible Escape subscription. This means titles will be removed from subscribers’ libraries on that date.
You will receive royalties for all Audible Escape listening of your titles, and qualifying creators will receive author/producer and title bonuses based on the full Q4 2020 bonus pool.
After November 1, all titles previously in Audible Escape will be available for purchase with cash or an Audible monthly credit. A selection of titles previously in Audible Escape will also be available in Audible Plus.
If you are sick of such behavior, you should back up your Audible books to your computer and take full control of your purchased property.
