Let me be clear about some of the goals of this book:
1. I want you to get your (short?) book recorded, distributed, and available in the audiobook market. Whether DIY or hiring a narrator.
2. I’d love to see your book available as a podcast with each chapter being a weekly episode.
3. Dictation is the frosting on top. It’s something you might not have thought much about but I’m here to whisper in your ear that it’s time to take a deeper look.
Audio has been around since, I suppose, the spoken language. The difference now is distribution and availability. Audiobooks, podcasts, smart phones, voice controlled home...
In a nutshell, the answer to Why Now? is because we can. Sure, microphones and book narrators have been around a long time. But...
When I first opened the Audacity program I have to admit I was intimidated.
