How To Publish An Audiobook? Writing And Publishing
Self Improvement International|March 2021
Most self-published authors are familiar with and know how to publish a paperback or an eBook. But very few authors know how to publish an audiobook. But did you know that the audiobook industry is growing rapidly and many authors have still not made the dive yet? The reason why audiobooks are becoming popular is due to the rise of smartphones and long commutes to offices. Instead of reading a book on a small screen, it’s easier to listen to an audiobook using an earphone or on their car stereo just like listening to music. So, why not take advantage of this new trend and publish all your books as audiobooks? This article will show what is needed to convert your regular book into an audiobook.
How To Publish An Audiobook? Writing And Publishing

First, determine if the audiobook industry is right for you. The audiobook market is growing, but it doesn’t mean every book can be converted to an audiobook. For example, if you have a technical book full of images, charts, tables, etc., it’s not easy to convert it to an audiobook. Also, audiobook production is time-consuming and expensive. So, evaluate if your book is worth converting to an audiobook and then dive into its production.

Audiobook production is the process where your written book is narrated and recorded into an audiobook (mp3 files). There are two ways to do this. You can record the audiobook yourself or you can hire a professional to record your audiobook.

Recording an Audiobook yourself - To narrate your own audiobook you will the necessary software and hardware, and a quiet place to record it. But this is easier said than done. Narrating an audiobook requires a certain degree of voice, breath control, and tone expertise. This means you cannot have irritating pauses, breathing noises, coughing, sneezing, etc., while you are recording. Secondly, you need professional audio editing software, equipment, and knowledge to turn your recorded files into professional high-quality audio files. This is easier said than done. Instead of this, most authors prefer to hire a professional narrator to create the necessary files.
