It has been said all across the publishing industry: the future is in audio, and the rising number of audiobooks proves this. With ACX, Findaway Voices, and other platforms, the path for authors to bring their work to readers' ears has never been easier. But it's more than just working with audiobook narrators that makes audio such a wonderful path for authors to explore. Those with a DIY mentality can put their audiobooks together themselves. They can take their passion and run with it in the world of podcasts, either as a host or a guest. Or you can hear your story come to life as a full cast audio drama.

With the resources available to us, how can you get involved? Join author/audiobook narrator George Sirois as he takes you through the process of deciding the best course - or COURSES - of action that's right for you. Whether you are a seasoned author or just starting out, this class promises to offer valuable information that can benefit your publishing journey.
