Harnessing the Power of Audio Books: How To Turn Your Written Book Into An Audio Book November 8, 2010

In this hands-on course, published authors (and would-be authors!) will learn the basics of turning their print books into audio books. Answer the big questions, like “Should I read my own book aloud, or hire a professional?” and “How much does an audio book cost to produce?” Instructor Christine Mahoney will give you tips and shortcuts, learned from personal experience. Learn how to avoid common mistakes (and catch them before your audio book gets duplicated!) and what to expect throughout the entire production process. At the end of the evening, you’ll be able to determine if your audio book can be a DIY project, or if you’ll need to hire a producer.

What will you learn?

Learn the 3 phases of audio book production and the top 3 quality control checkpoints
The 6 factors buyers consider before purchasing an audio book
Quality vs. Speed – getting it done fast or getting it done right
Producing hard copies vs. creating downloadable copies – what does your audience want? What is the cost difference?

Who should attend?

This course is designed for published authors, soon-to-be published authors or would-be authors with great book ideas.

Additional requirments:

Authors, please bring your books. If your book hasn’t been published yet, or is in the process of being written, please bring a section that can be read aloud. If you’re a would-be author still in the “idea phase” of your book, bring whatever you can share. We’ll share content in a fun, friendly environment that offers encouragement and constructive critique.
