All About Audiobooks with Brett Barry!
Today's guest is Brett Barry, a 20+ year veteran of the audiobooks industry. Voiceover artist, educator, and audiobook producer Brett has an ear for books.
Ready for some stats? In 2021, nearly 50% of the US population listened to at least one audiobook. Readers listen in their cars, at home, and on vacation, and all those books add up to an industry that generated $1.6 billion in the US and $4.22 billion globally. Audiobooks are big business and should be part of every author's calculus for publication and distribution.
Barbara and Brett talk about what goes into creating a great audiobook, where AI fits in, and what Arnold Schwarzenegger has to do with any of this.
If Brett's last name is familiar, it's because his wonderful wife Rebecca appeared on our podcast on March 28 to talk about her critically beloved book, "The Vanishing of Carolyn Wells." https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/writingforimmortality/episodes/The-Vanishing-of-Carolyn-Wells-A-Conversation-with-Author-Rebecca-Rego-Barry-e2hfqfd
