Praise for Narrated by the Author

"Here’s where I’m at. I could try recording my own audiobooks. I’m not assuming it would be easy, but I read a great guide today on the topic which made it sound more manageable: Narrated by the Author by Renee Conoulty. Feel free to check it out if you are curious, it’s a short little guide that covers all the main points with no faffing about. I especially liked it as it’s written by an author who has just figured out the ropes, rather than some audiobook expert — you don’t get overloaded with technical information and it all feels very doable."

- David Gaughran, author of Let's Get Digital
