Things have changed rapidly in the world of audiobooks since Richard Rieman’s award-winning book, The Author’s Guide to Audiobook Creation was first published.
For the first time last year, half of all Americans over the age of 12 have listened to an audiobook!
- Did you?
- Do you know someone who has?
- Have your book buyers asked if you have your book available in audio?
There are new major competitors to Amazon’s Audible in the audiobook creation world.
- What options are there?
- Do you know who they are?
- Should you be distributing through them outside of Amazon’s Audible?
Nonfiction books (History, Biographies, Memoirs) are overtaking many other genres among audiobook listeners.
- Meaning that NF authors should be creating audiobooks—is yours available now?
- Will it be your voice or a professional narrator?
- How will you use it to market your expertise and position it?
Fiction books are naturals for audiobook listeners.
- No genre is left unturned—what’s yours?
- Should you have mixed voices/narrators or have a single voice?
- How about adds—a little music for scene changes?
The Audiobook Wizard, Richard Rieman, will share:
- Marketing Strategies and Tips for HOW to Market Your Audiobook
- When Narrating Your Own Book is the Best Option ( and sometimes it is!) plus shortcuts to do a combo of YOU and a Narrator
- How You Can Cover the Cost of Audiobook Production through Crowdfunding

It’s time to brag … right now! Holidays are here and your book will make a great gift! But readers and buyers cannot find you because they’ve never heard of you! You fear bragging!
“Invisibility leads to stagnation. Embracing the brag keeps you visible.” -Judith Briles
You say you don’t like to brag. The truth is you fear bragging because at a very young age you were taught bragging is egotistical. It’s time to get over it! It’s up to you to sell your books!
“If you can’t sell yourself, you can’t sell your book and receive well-deserved notoriety!”
The good news is, bragging isn’t hard, but it takes courage and the knowledge of how to do it right.
Remember, readers enjoy buying books written by authors they know and trust. Now’s the time to get your brag on!
In this session, you will learn the five amazing steps on how to brag in a business-savvy manner.
- Create brag factors that make a positive difference
- Develop the confidence to brag
