I’ve been working on this book a while now and shared some adapted information from it in various blogposts.

Adventures in Audio blogpost series:

Now you can dig deep and read the book!

Are you an author interested in the vast opportunities that audio has to offer your career?

Are you ready to launch yourself into the various adventures audio can bring – in podcasting, audiobooks and more?

Audio consumption has gone up since consumers like options in how they are entertained – listening, watching, or reading it themselves. Not everyone who listens to a podcast is an avid reader, but if they like what they hear, they’ll want more, and probably in audio. Which is a possible reason for the audiobook market’s steady double digit growth over the last several years.

How can you, as an author, position your books in this increasingly audio-first environment?

I’ve been podcasting since 2021 and narrating my own audiobooks since 2023, I also have a background in various recording situations (professional and garage) for the best part of the early 2000s. I weave all of the knowledge I’ve gained over decades through the advice in this book to help you figure out the best way for you to use audio to your advantage and grow your author empire.
