The Writers' Guide to Publishing Audiobooks: Converting and Marketing Your Books in Audio (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781505326253)

NARRATE YOUR OWN AUDIOBOOK FOR LESS THAN $100
If you're a self-published author looking to maximize income opportunities for your books, and looking for ways to separate yourself from the cut-throat ebook competition, converting your books to audiobooks is an obvious next step. Audiobooks are on a fast-track growth path, piggybacking on the rise of smartphones. Most major publishers are now producing audio versions of their top selling books.
You can do the same. At one time it cost thousands of dollars to produce an audiobook, but today you can purchase all the audio equipment you need for less than a $100, and narrate your own book for free. Or you can explore the possibilities of hiring a professional narrator with no upfront fee, and splitting the royalties on a 50/50 basis.
This book gets straight to the point, explaining exactly what you need to do, and what your options are in creating an audiobook, without including all the usual get-rich-quick fluff.
