If you’re a pharmacist author who wants to publish an audiobook, you need to listen to this episode!  Whether you need a voice talent to narrate the project or you want to narrate it yourself, Julie Walthers can help.  

During our interview, we talk about the process of producing an audiobook, how much it costs to produce one, and fun vocabulary words, like "punch and roll,” “straight record,” and “raw audio.”  We also talk briefly about hiring a narrator, what you need if you narrate your own audiobook, and more.

There are 15 episodes in my pharmacist authors series:  an introduction, 13 interviews, and a wrap-up episode.  This is episode 3 of 15.  Subscribe to or follow the podcast to get all the episodes delivered to your podcast player and YouTube each time a new one comes out.

Bio:

Julie is the owner and lead editor of Whole Story Studio, an audiobook post-production company. With a background in both sound engineering and education, Julie combines her experiences working in a Detroit-area recording studio and as a high school English teacher into a fulfilling career editing and producing audiobooks. Julie has worked with Eljin productions for editing and QC, which has included dozens of titles from major publishing companies such as Simon and Schuster, Penguin Random House, and Harper. She has also worked as part of the AppleNews audio stories engineering team. Other clients have included BenBella Books, Chelsea Green Publishing, Blackstone Publishing, and a number of incredible independent authors and narrators. In addition to editing and mastering audiobooks, Whole Story Studio offers producing services to help independent authors navigate the audiobook production process. In her spare time, Julie enjoys running, reading, and cuddling with her old pup Neffi, and two new kitties, Maud and Norman. 

Julie and I worked on two audiobooks together.  They are:  

1. IMPACT Pharmacist:  Start Your Own Wellness Practice and Leave Your Retail Pharmacy Job Behind!  By Dr. Asha Pai Bohannon and Eric Bohannon
2. Perimenopause:  The Savvy Sister’s Guide to Hormone Harmony by Dr. Anna Garrett

Julie loves working with narrators and helping independent authors navigate the audiobook production process.  She would love to help pharmacist authors publish audiobooks.
