Audiobooks are the fastest-growing segment in publishing with double-digit growth in markets across the world. Podcasting has gone mainstream with listeners consuming audio on mobile phones and in-car devices, as well as through smart speakers. Advancements in voice technology continue to expand possibilities for audio creation and marketing.

With such rapid growth in opportunity, how can you position your books in an increasingly voice-first world?

I've been podcasting for over a decade as well as narrating and producing my own audiobooks since 2014. I'm an avid consumer of audio content and I'm also experimenting with AI voice technologies.

Reviews

★★★★★
For the author attuned to the latest in book marketing how-to's and advice, Joanna Penn is NOT a hidden gem. She is brilliant and well on display! In Audio for Authors, she shares practical and thoughtful guidance based on her own experience and those of her professional colleagues. After reading this, I actually decided against pursuing audio until a later date, so it helped me think through the pro's and con's of audio versus ROI.

First off, I love Joanna. In this book she goes into the business aspects, how to prepare yourself , how to market, all the different podcasts, distribution etc. It's not about the nitty gritty actual recording and editing details but about all the other things before it, around it and after it. She covers territory not covered by others which is just as important.

Joanna Penn has helped me with many of her books about publishing my own books and audio. This one is just another of her fine products. I recommend it if you want to publish your own audio book.

In 2020, one of the most exciting avenues for authors to explore is audio. Joanna Penn, with over a decade of experience in podcasting, is the perfect person to pen this nonfiction work, which covers the topics of audiobooks, podcasting, and voice technologies.

I’m a long time fan of The Creative Penn. I’ve listened to many of Joanna’s books for indie authors, but this one takes the cake. She talks about everything from dictating a first draft to optimizing for voice search to creating an audiobook and more, all things I’m trying to incorporate in my own author journey. I’m going to purchase the ebook edition as well now, just for my own note taking purposes!
