How to Turn Your Book into an Audiobook

Due to personal reasons, our schedule speaker has had to reschedule her talk on turning your book into a movie script. Instead, we will be bringing you Jenny Hoops, Narrator, who will be explaining how to turn your book into an audiobook and reach a wider audience. There have been lots of developments in the audiobook world, particularly for Canadian writers who can now register as a publisher (rights-holder) on ACX (the Audiobook Creation Exchange, Amazon’s audiobook production site for independent authors and narrators).  She’ll chat about the pros & cons of going through ACX, how to find a narrator that fits your book, the audiobook production process, royalty-share vs. per-finished-hour fees, and how to promote your audiobook alongside your e-book and printed book.

Jenny Hoops is a full-time professional narrator who lives and has a recording studio in Bragg Creek, Alberta. Her narration work includes several genres, both fiction and non-fiction, which are all available on-line through Audible, Amazon and iTunes. She narrates under her own name, Jenny Hoops, as well as Georgia Bragg (for the racier genres!). In addition to long-form narration (such as audiobooks), Jenny is also the weekend voice of The Washington Post, on Audible Channels. Visit her website, www.jennyhoops.com, or visit her on Facebook.
