Audiobook sales are exploding. It’s the fastest growing format in publishing, and millions of potential listeners prefer listening to books instead of reading them. Audiobooks are perfect for busy readers who want to “read” a book while traveling, exercising or multitasking.

Audiobooks are also excellent for writers to expand their audience, create a new revenue stream, and hear their stories to help them make edits prior to submitting to agents and publishers. Self-publishing writers can reach many more readers as well. There are 3 major audiobook publishers (Audible, Spotify and Apple Books) who are always looking for new content. The old way of making audiobooks – hiring a voice-over talent, recording in a studio, and spending days editing – used to cost up to $15,000. Now you can easily produce one for $50 - $500.
