@PublishersAssoc@HachetteUK@BexMarkwick@isnotanotter@OisinFagan@cosmoloz I think any kind of organisation/planning skills are incredibly useful and definitely transferrable. A working knowledge of digital audio formats and audio editing skills (which can be honed on free programs like Audacity) are also good things to have in your arsenal.
@PublishersAssoc@HachetteUK@BexMarkwick@isnotanotter Great question. There’s nothing quite like that first listen when you hear a narrator who just “gets” the book and reads it exactly like you heard it in your head. NOBBER by @OisinFagan, read by Niall Buggy is a recent example of that for me.
@PublishersAssoc@HachetteUK@BexMarkwick@isnotanotter Nobody writes quite like Stephen King and his prose style is particularly well suited to audiobooks. Listening to a Stephen King audiobook is like being told a great campfire story, especially in the hands of a narrator like Frank Muller or Will Patton. Highly recommended!
@PublishersAssoc@HachetteUK@BexMarkwick It's primarily due to the rise of digital audiobooks. Abridgement was a common practice when publishers wanted to condense books to fit on tape + CD. Listeners these days expect the audio to be unabridged because they can carry them around on a smartphone regardless of length.
