APRIL QUESTION - Have any of your books been made into audio books? If so, what is the main challenge in producing an audiobook?
MY ANSWER - I have not published any full-length books. I tend to write short stories and articles. I am not aware of any of the anthologies I am published in being made into an audiobook either. The market for audiobooks began expanding a couple of years ago, and I feel like it is still a fairly lucrative market. I just have not had any personal experience with it.
How about you? Have any of your books been made into audio books? If so, what is the main challenge in producing an audiobook?

Don't give up the idea. My books are all on audio and they sell rather well. At least by my standards!
Hi Sylvia!
I also focus on short stories and non-fiction articles. However, I'm interested to read what other writers have to say about audiobooks, especially the ones who have released numerous audiobooks.
Happy IWSG Day!
It would be interesting if an anthology of short stories was made into an audio book. I don't have any experience with adio books either.
I think Natalie has a great idea...audio short stories. Each story, a different voice.
Leigh - what a cool idea!
If you have a collection of short stories, maybe those could be made into an audiobook. You could have the same person read them all or a different person for each one. I haven't gone the audiobook route yet, but I keep saying I need to look into it. One of these days, I will.
