Audiobooks provide an additional revenue stream and reach readers who prefer audio content.Most books can be converted to audiobooks, except for heavily visual works like cookbooks or picture books.Self-narrating audiobooks can help authors create a stronger bond with readers.Basic equipment needed includes a dynamic microphone (like Audio Technica ATR2100x or Samson Q2U), microphone stand, pop filter, and headphones.Free software like Audacity can be used for recording and editing.A small room or DIY recording booth (using a patio umbrella and blanket) can provide good acoustics.The process involves recording, editing out mistakes, mastering the audio, and uploading to distributors like ACX, Authors Republic, or Findaway Voices.Derek offers a program called “Audiobooks Made Easy” that guides authors through the process and provides personal feedback.The learning curve for creating audiobooks varies, but most authors can pick up the basics within a few hours to a few days.Creating audiobooks can help authors stand out in the market, as currently less than 10% of indie books have audio versions.
