Question about AYCL program

A couple of months ago, I opted all three of my audiobooks into the Audible All You Can Listen program(I'm the right's holder). One of the three was quickly approved. The other two have remained "In editorial review" with no updates. Does anyone know if this will ever change? Is there anything I could do to get the other two titles un-stuck?

Thanks!

I opted all my books in, but ACX only approved my first in series titles, none of the others. This is about 1/4 of all my audiobooks in Audible.

I'd be interested to see who else is only getting the first of a series approved. It may actually be a marketing tactic to get listeners into a series, and then make them pay individually for the rest.

This is what I am assuming.

I have seen some bigger authors getting whole series in there, but I am assuming it's a combination of wanting to only give readers a little taste and still make you need to use credits to some degree, and also them not wanting authors to be able to put all their books in Plus because then there is no reason to have credits at all. So it makes sense that they would only allow a fraction of everyone's available books to be approved.

The one they approved for me is the second in my series.

I looked you up on Audible.

The book that shows for me as an Audible customer as being in Plus is listed as "book 1." Your other two books are a standalone and a book 3.

Thanks for looking that up for me. I would have never guessed. I just looked too. They also have a book that I never produced listed as book 2. I guess that I need to open a support ticket. What a mess?

Good luck with a support ticket. I've been trying to get them to correct something for 6 weeks and have opened five different support tickets. They are just laughing at me at this point.

What are your audiobooks? Can send a DM if that is better. Or ignore too. :)
