Help Vox9 Grow - We Need Your Help!
The first week of Vox9 has been incredible. We've hit 800+ listeners and 220+ supporters in just 6 days. The response has blown me away.
But now I need your help to make it even better.
You can easily share stories from Vox9 with your friends via the "Share" button when you play an episode, sharing via WhatsApp, twitter, Facebook or just the URL link. Its in the top right corner when you play an episode.
Remember my Sci-Fi Stories YT Channel?
Many of the authors I used to narrate on YouTube still aren't on Vox9 yet. Their stories were some of your favorites, and I'd love to see them join the platform.
Authors we'd love to have:
LegalRegalEagle - Creature 88, Billy Bob Space Trucker
KyleKKent - Out of Cruel Space
WrickWrites - The Amia Perspective on Humans
slightlyassholic - Tales from the Terran Republic
FarmWhich4275 - Some of the best short HFY stories on Reddit
MementoMori-3 - Incredible HFY/Sci-Fi stories
MarlynnOfMany - Token Human and Captain Sunshine.
And any other author you love on Reddit or Royal Road!
How You Can Help (Please no spamming authors):
If you follow any of these authors, or have a favorite writer you'd love to hear as an audiobook, send them a quick along these lines:
"Hey! I'm a fan of your work. I've been listening to audiobooks on Vox9, a new platform for indie authors, and would love to hear your stories on there too. Any chance you'd take a look? vox9.io/for-authors"
That's it. One message. You could be the reason your favorite story becomes an audiobook.
Where to Reach Them:
Comment on their Reddit posts
Send a Reddit DM
Comment on their Royal Road chapters
Tag them on Twitter/X
Message them on Patreon
Why This Matters:
More authors = more stories = better platform for everyone.
When an author joins, they bring their fans too. Those fans discover your favourite authors. Everyone wins.
Thank you for being part of this. Let me know in the comments which authors you're reaching out to!

SciFiStories1977 there seems to be a lot of push back from the reddit hive on any Ai. You might want to look at cutting up episodes and posting them to tiktok. Maybe do the first 5 minutes or something then send them to vox9. It might take some time to figure out the best format
The AI patrol is a fairly small but loud minority. In amongst their moaning, many thousands of people keep quiet (out of fear of suffering their wrath) and just get on with checking us out. The vox9 figures are pretty good. Almost 1.5k registered users (in 12 days) and yesterday we hit just under 800 hour of listen time. So its going ok. We attracked 4 new authors as well, so let them get annoyed while the rest of us get on with our lives.
I am confused, The Black Ship and both side stories were on YouTube, then Rumble and now another. I can only hope you will keep all the stories on either YouTube or Rumble.
The new platform (vox9) is for every story by any author, not just Black ship stories. The Black ship stories will continue on Rumble and YT. BUT, if you check vox9, you'll find most of the chapters are there.. Patreon gets everything first, but vox9 is second.
If you want to listen to your favorite authors in an audio format, just ping them to check out vox9.io
Me too
No offline listening? I’ll pass
YES, you can listen offline! You can't have checked because you would have known otherwise... you can download and listen offline to any authors you subscribe too via the PWA app. I'm just going through the process of creating the Android and Apple apps. The PWA install can be seen here with a video walkthrough for offline listening: https://vox9.io/updates
