About this listen

Audiobook narration is fun, varied, and a whole lot of hard work. Tanya Eby's handbook draws on her 25 years of experience in the audiobook industry to give narrators tips, suggestions, and information on the art and business of audiobook narration.

This book is for:

  • Writers looking to understand production.
  • New narrators who are just getting started and confused on next steps.
  • Established narrators who have questions and want to grow their business.

Over her career, Tanya has narrated more than 1,100 books by indie and bestselling writers. She's been a publisher, producer, casting director, and has won awards for her narration. She is also a writer of the best-selling rom com series MAN HANDS with Sarina Bowen.

She draws on her unique experience to talk about narration from multiple viewpoints with articles on casting, performance, business etiquette, and tackling roadblocks while providing clear, informative, and sometimes inspirational advice along the way.

Audiobook narration as a career is ever-evolving, and there are many paths forward in the industry. This book helps describe how the industry operates and how to get gigs.

Honest straight forward GREAT advice

Tanya Ebys honest advice really cuts through the fluff to give a human perspective of what this industry is. What is expected of narrators, and what can narrators expect in return.
I got some great tips, some reassurance and quite a few laughs.
This is like a good friend sharing their wisdom. Narrated with warmth and humility.
