Casting for Audiobooks - with Amber Bates from Orion Books

Listening to books has never been more popular - fact or fiction, we all love a good listen. But finding the right narrator is a complex art.

In this episode, I'm talking to Amber Bates from Orion Books about the part she plays in getting a book from a manuscript and into our ears.

We cover all kinds of stuff, including

• Casting - and who is involved in the process
• What to look for in your audiobook narrator
• The listener and why they're so important
• How to work with the author
• Studios vs home studios
• Directing your narrator

We also look specifically at The Six Tales of Christmas (also available from your independent bookseller), narrated by Karen Cass and written by Anne Marie Ryan. Yes - it's a bit late/ridiculously early - but it's always Christmas in my heart ;-D
