Nowadays, audio books are growing in popularity. Bedtime stories are a good time to read to children. Thus, having an audio book version is helpful.To create the audio book, I went to Fiverr to search for assistance.I listened to several samples of audio books, then selected the one I thought best suited for the children’s book.
I reached out to the narrator on Fiverr to discuss the fees. I was able to ask a few questions about the process. Once agreed, I initiated the payment for narrative services.
To prepare for the audio book, I wrote the script for the narrative. I prepared a word file of the narrative. Once it was finished, I used the “Read Aloud” feature to listen. Although this was a bland reading, it still allowed me to listen to the flow of the words. It is very helpful to do the audiobook or read through first before submitting your draft for printing.
To create the audio book, I had to add wording to describe the pictures in the book. Once the pictures were described, I had to create transitions between the book passages and the picture descriptions to ensure the an easy written flow. Once finished I sent the file to the narrator. It takes up to a week for the narrator to complete the audio book. Once finished, you have an opportunity for revisions. In this case, I had some revisions to make.
Once the audio books is complete, I will need to have it formatted to upload to Amazon Kindle. Again, I will reach out to a source on Fiverr to this piece done. This process takes a few days. When it is done, I’ll have a link to update my website, then I can publish it though Amazon Kindle.
I have enrolled in an audio book course so I can learn to produce my own audio books in the future. My second book, I will produce my own audio book.
