Simple Guide For Creating Your First AudioBook

From: Write Nonfiction NOW!


Today, more people read audiobooks than ever before. If you aren't turning your print and ebooks into listenable content, you are missing readers. Today, Nishil Prasad ( @nick6974)provides a quick guide to producing your first audiobook.

Historically, books came in the form of bound and printed texts. Now, however, you can find books in different mediums, like ebooks and audiobooks. And when someone tells you what book they currently are reading, more often than not they aren't reading—they are listening to an audiobook.


In May 2018, Forbes reported that, according tothe American Association of Publishers, digital audiobook revenue rose 32.1% in 2018's first quarter. Adam Rowe wrote, “It's the continuation of a well-documented trend: Audiobook sales grew around 20% year over year across the first eight months of 2017,  according to AAP data. Audiobooks now earn publishers  more than mass market paperbacks — even as ebook sales fell 3.2% in 2018's first quarter.”


The statistics tell a good part of the story. The popularity of audiobooks is increasing, and people are listening to them whenever they can find the time. They listen to books while cooking, commuting, walking, jogging, etc. Therefore, you want to put your work before the wide range of audiences who like to listen rather than to read.
