Hi John – I’ve been thinking of making one or more of my books into audiobooks. Did you have it professionally done, or did you do it yourself? If you did it, what software did you use to record? Good luck with the sales of your audiobook.

Hi Chuck. I hired somebody to narrate the book who’d never made an audiobook. He’d record a chapter and then I’d use software to connect them or make corrections. The software I used: Audacity. It was trial and error at first until I learned more about the software. I still use it today of podcasts and modifying sound for my book reviews or videos. Once done, there are several places that you can submit your audiobook for sale; Audible and Amazon are the biggest but also take a big cut of the profits. Good luck! Let me know if I can be of further assistance. One pc of advice, since my narrator had a different voice for ea character when reading from the book, Tom said or Bill remarked, et al seemed redundant because listeners already knew who it was. So if you do something similar, consider making the changes.

This article has a greater ring of unvarnished truth than just about any other I’ve read here. As a Shake ‘n Bake myself in the 1st Cav two years later, I recognized much of what you described. Things had changed a little, but not much. Thank you for your service and for writing about it LT.
