Why self-publish your book as an audiobook?
There are many resources for self-publishing audiobooks. I use ACX.com which has written and video tutorials. It is free to join. You can narrate your book if you have a good recording system. Otherwise, you can submit a sample of your book to have narrators read. I usually listen to 5 or more narrator samples before picking one to narrate my book. You can pay a flat fee to the narrator you select or you can share royalties with your narrator. Compare the narrator's reading to what you have written to catch mistakes. Some narrators do transition music, soft background music, and/or sound effects. I ask if the narrator wants to add music or sound effects. If yes, I refer them to freesound.org...

Why did you start writing your first children's book?I retired after enjoying 45 years of teaching all subjects at all grade levels. My wife said, "You enjoyed reading books with children. Why don't you write them." I began writing in 2013. Since then, I have published on Amazon over 300 illustrated children's ebooks and paperbacks plus some hardcovers. I have published over 200 audiobooks using ACX. For me, writing is as much fun as teaching.View More
