So, today I decided to read the article my friend sent me the other week about publishing audiobooks. This article led me to a fairly exciting research during which I totally forgot to eat my breakfast for at least 2 hours. :D

Hi, yes, as the reader might have guessed, I get taken by ideas. and I love the internet and all the opportunities it can give an author. This time it's not going to be a rant about the industry giants. But about me going totally starry eyed excited about self-publishing of audiobooks.

My research led me to a fair bit of v informative articles by different authors. It also lead me to some potential distributers I could use. Also, I found out, since I'm a non-fiction author, it is the industry standard that listeners prefer authors of this genre to narrate their own books. (Apparently for fiction listeners tend to prefer professional narrators.)

This idea was actually started by another friend of mine who mentioned I should consider doing a podcast series of my poems. She also stated my voice is charismatic. I suspect, this is going to be proven or disproven sometime in the future.

Having the control over my process and just jumping on ideas as and when I have them, this is the most amazing thing about being an indie author. I love this stuff!

I am also extremely scared, yet I am going to try to brave this anyway.
