People consume books differently from how they did in the past. They like to read books on their phone or tablet. And they also want to listen to books in the car, at the gym, and on the go. And this is where audiobooks come into their own.

I've recorded several audiobooks as it's a fantastic way to increase sales. I'd certainly encourage you to consider turning your books into audiobooks. 
 
In this episode, I speak with Al Black of Voquent Media. He's an expert when it comes to creating audiobooks as it's his service that helps authors find professional narrators, audio engineers, and so on to get their audiobooks ready for publication. 

In this episode, we discuss:

Where should a writer start when turning their book into an audiobookHow to pick a specific narratorHow much should you budget for an audiobookWhat happens after you've chosen your narratorKnowing when you're ready to publish the audiobookMic recommendations for recording your own audio
