I’m glad you enjoyed it, Alicia! If you end up with ACX, I hope you have a great experience. I think a lot of it is in the ground work and planning and choosing carefully as far as who you will collaborate with. Keep me posted on what you end up doing!

It doesn’t seem as confusing/difficult when you explain the step-by-step process. Looking forward to part 2.

That’s neat they give you a couple different options for paying the narrator. I was wondering about that.

Oh, the Little House books! I love those books. Do your kids follow along in the books when they listen to the audio versions? I think that would be a fun thing to do with kids.

Bonnie,

It’s really exciting to hear that a new spark has begun for you with audio books. I do hope you get the chance to hear some great ones — one of my favorites is Anne of Green Gables, but I need to recall the narrator that I love best and if I can ask my librarian which one it is, I will send you the details on that one. I just downloaded the audible app the other day and the kids and I are enjoying it already! 🙂

I do hope you enjoy This Quiet Sky on audio and one thing that I’m extra excited about with this, is that because it’s a novella, it will be quite inexpensive which I hope will make it more accessible for readers to try.

Congrats – I’m so looking forward to hearing an audio sample and also reading “This Quiet Sky”!!

I have a few audio books, all except one are older books – hate to say it, but don’t think I’ve even listened to them. Audio books are becoming so popular, I keep thinking I will learn now to add the app, or whatever is needed, to my Kindle and try some new audio books – but just haven’t taken the time to do it. My favorite book format is a paperback or hardback, but must admit – you’re stirred my interest to try the audio books!!

Love, hugs, and prayers!!

Oh and I may have read that wrong 😛 I’m such a dweeb. Were you talking about TQS? Yes, I will have a sample soon!

Kara! I’m so excited for you to hear it when it’s done! (and Kezia and Hadassah!) 🙂

And yes, there is a way to do that. Are you thinking of doing Pearl or Sentry? I’ll show you how to navigate ACX and start perusing options. It’s lots of fun!

Thank you for posting this! It is so easy to read and informative, it makes me feel like even I could do it! 😛 Is there somewhere I could hear like a short demo of the actress’s voice? Or even a bit of your book being narrated? 🙂 I know it’s super early in the process, but I thought I’d at least ask 🙂

Have a great day! <3

Oh, Britney this made me smile! And yes, I know just what you mean. I have listened to many audio books that didn’t quite ring *right* to me for the story which has made this process such an important one for me. And it’s so different than the writing itself, that it’s been a blast. I’m excited for you to meet Gail and hear her performance!
