June 2025 Meeting: Mary Catherine Jones on Audiobooks from Microphone to Marketplace
June 21 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Audiobooks have enjoyed double-digit growth for the last 12 years with no sign of slowing down. Many independently published authors don’t know where to begin when it comes to creating an audiobook. Members will learn the basics of audiobook production, including:
- Narration: Author Voice or Professional Narrator?
- Recording Options
- Distribution Options
- Using Your Audiobook Assets
Mary Catherine Jones will also include options for those wanting to bootstrap the process! Finally, she’ll touch on adapting your book for audio (how to handle quotes, charts, graphs, footnotes, and dialogue), plus plenty of time for questions.
Mary Catherine Jones is the owner and executive producer of The Audiobook Experience at Voice Over Vermont, an award-winning boutique audiobook recording and production studio. She delights in working with authors to bring their stories into the world, either using their voices or finding the perfect narrator for their audiobook. A speaker at the 2025 Women in Publishing Summit, her company has produced many award-winning titles, including club president Carolyn McBride’s audiobooks.
