Audio books and Ebooks
Thursday, 01 March 2012
Having a novel put into the Audio Book format is fun and very interesting, but it is also painful. I have two novels that have been made into Audio Books and listening to selected readers read a couple of paragraphs while you listen and choose which voice you want to be the voice of your creattion was great. But first, the publisher told me that I had to cut 25% of the novel out to keep the cost of the voice book down. What a horrendeous task. My baby, my creation, take out whole chapters and throw them away! Impossible! But when it was finished it sounded great and the audience would never know about the missing chapters. Then I now have 3 books in Ebook form. I haven't a clue how that happens, but I do hope it will reach a new market. I have submitted 2 new novels to the publisher, another book is almost out of editing. That will be three books being published at the same time. When they come out next fall it will be a time of hectic action setting up signings and interviews. I wish you much happiness and success. Lyle
