About a month ago, I ran a poll on twitter to see if people who consumed books were primarily interested in kindle books, paperback books, or audio books. At the time, only 10% of the poll respondents said they preferred audio books, and that sort of solidified my decision to not record an audio version of my book. But after reading some author reports that MOST of their sales came through their audio books, I’ve decided to go ahead and get a recording going.
Fortunately, I already own all the necessary recording equipment. Back in 2020, my wife and I ran a podcast about our life on a boat, and I got pretty comfortable with being in front of a microphone, as well as recording and editing. So… time to start recording!
