For Authors and Publishers - 29 April at a lunchtime Zoom session (AEST) our team will be assembling to share knowledge with you about how to produce your own audiobook. Audiobook production is exciting - it's intense - its technical and its emotional. You will have questions answered that you would never have thought to ask! All our people (that includes our authors....can't bring myself to call them clients) - have an experience they will never forget when we band together to produce an audiobook. It is the most beautiful way to get your manuscript out to the world - and just by the way - the fastest growing part of the publishing sector. It's Storytelling going back to its roots. And even business books and science books have their storyline (we have had our share of those)! We want to share that knowledge - help those who cannot afford the whole process go-to-whoa - and enlighten anyone who attends on what is involved. Our promise is we won't 'sell' you anything. Sign up on MeetUp for a 45 minute tight script with 15 mins of QandA.

Wow! Talk about something I never thought I’d do — narrate an audiobook. But here I am, laying down final tracks turning my print version of—“Choosing Me: The Journey Home to My True Self”—into audio. It feels like such a huge accomplishment! This project stretched me in so many ways. I mean, I thought writing a book was a huge process…but in some ways the audiobook challenged me even more. But, hey, my audience asked for it and my publisher recommended it, so I jumped in. And I’m really glad I did! You can read my full blog, featuring all those things I had to overcome, like: ?? Actually believing I could do it ?? Getting over not liking the sound of my own voice ?? Transitioning from storyteller as a writer to one as a speaker (it’s an entirely different skill!) My #1 learning? The only way to do the work, is to do the work! ?? Read the full blog post here, including the link to purchase your audiobook copies.

**Celebrating the Amazing Authors Who Make Audiobooks So Special ??????** As audiobook narrators, we have the incredible privilege of bringing an author's words to life — but let's take a moment to recognize the true magic that happens before we even pick up the mic: the creativity, passion, and heart that authors pour into their stories. There’s something truly special about an author who crafts a world so vivid, characters so real, and plots so compelling that we can’t help but feel like we’re living it right alongside the reader. These authors don’t just write books — they invite us into their imagination, challenge us to see the world differently, and, in so many cases, touch our hearts deeply. It’s an honor to narrate their work, to give their characters voices and make the story live and breathe in a whole new way. Every audiobook is a collaborative effort — a beautiful marriage between the author’s words and the narrator’s voice, and the result is something unforgettable. To the amazing authors out there, thank you for trusting narrators like me to share your stories. Your talent makes this whole process so rewarding, and I’m beyond grateful to be part of the journey of bringing your words to life. Keep writing, keep inspiring, and keep making the world of audiobooks a richer place for all of us. ???? #AudiobookNarrators #Authors #Storytelling #GratefulNarrator #VoiceoverLife #AuthorsRock #BookLovers #CreativeCollaboration

While audiobooks are great for pleasure reading, they don’t pack the same punch when it comes to comprehension and retention—especially for academic material. ?? Studies show that students who read printed material scored significantly higher on comprehension tests than those who listened to the same content. When we read with our eyes, we engage with the material differently: slowing down, rereading, and focusing on key details. Print doesn’t fade, and skilled readers can absorb information faster and more effectively than by listening alone. ?? Audiobooks are a fantastic complement, but there’s no substitute for the brain-building power of reading with your eyes! ??
