How to Bring Your Book from the Page to the Aural Stage

If you're an author who's ever thought, "Should my book be an audiobook?"—the answer is probably yes. Audiobooks are one of the fastest-growing segments in publishing, and if you’re not tapping into that market, you might be leaving money (and listeners) on the table.

In this live webinar, professional audiobook narrator and producer Megan Tusing of Little But Fierce Productions®, LLC—who brings nearly a decade of industry experience—will guide authors through the essentials of audiobook creation. Whether you're looking to hire a professional, understand the audiobook production process, or make informed decisions about your audio rights, this workshop will give you the clarity and confidence to move forward.

In this session, authors will learn:

  • Why audiobooks are an essential part of your book’s journey
  • How audiobooks are made—including the full production process
  • Key audiobook terms and lingo every author should know
  • DIY vs. hiring a pro vs. selling your audio rights: which path is right for you?
  • What “narrator approval” means, and why it matters
  • Tips for marketing your audiobook once it’s published
  • How to avoid common mistakes new authors make in audio

There will also be time for live Q&A, so come with your questions!

Whether you're just getting started or already exploring audiobook options, this seminar will help you move forward with confidence.
