Free Audiobook Production Webcast Now Available for Download

North Kingstown, RI - September 18, 2009 - – On September 15, 2009 BBC Audiobooks America presented an exclusive, in-depth look at the production of audiobooks from start to finish with some of the industry's top talent. C. L. Quillen, coordinator of Public Services for Old Bridge Library in New Jersey moderated the panel of experts including Executive Producer Dan Hypes, author Julia Spencer-Fleming, and narrator Suzanne Toren.

The experts answered a variety of questions posed about the surprisingly complex, incredibly detailed, and fiercely passionate world of audio publishing, including how does a book make it from a printed work to a CD, Playaway, or Digital Download? What challenges do narrators, directors, and publishers face in bringing audiobooks to fruition? How is technology impacting audiobook production and distribution? What role do libraries play in determining which titles are made into audiobooks and what formats are available? The unique session gave listeners the chance to learn more about how audiobook production is an intense marriage of creative forces between author, narrator, director and publisher.
