What a very special experience, to hear your work read aloud by an actor! I'd love to have been in your shoes, I'm sure.<br /><br />Was this a contract with a traditional audio book publisher, or did you hire someone? Do you know if it's hard and/or expensive to have self-published works made into audio books?Kathryn Crafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08371458857187160425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-12418212642478585152012-06-25T20:36:59.588-06:002012-06-25T20:36:59.588-06:00Thanks, Linda, glad you liked the post.
LD, I lau...Thanks, Linda, glad you liked the post.<br /><br />LD, I laughed at your "brisk 20 miles an hour." I tended to go too fast when listening to my book. LOL<br /><br />Elle, I hope you can find a critique group, or even one person, to read your work aloud. It really does help.<br /><br />Dani, you are lucky to have someone who knows how to do dramatic reading.<br /><br />Silfert, at first it can be a little daunting. The first time I had a reading of one of my scripts I was so nervous I could hardly sit still while the reading was going on. But when I saw how beneficial that was in spotting story problems and awkward dialogue, I was eager to do it again. It does get easier. Honest.

It's fun, but I think I'd be awfully nervous about handing over my own words to be read aloud by others. :)silferthttp://stitchtunes.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-39460099750095796102012-06-25T18:18:01.711-06:002012-06-25T18:18:01.711-06:00My husband, a former thespian, reads mine aloud!

My husband, on the other hand, prefers to listen to an audio book rather than read. <br /><br />I think having someone else read one's work at a critique group would be very valuable, though, because it would highlight areas that a reader might trip over or misunderstand or find awkward.

It would be interesting to hear someone else read it.<br /><br />But I can't listen to audiobooks while I drive. I get caught up in the story and find myself doing a brisk 20 MPH on the Interstate.LD Mastersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01202135756299574972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-62786450762238917192012-06-25T10:19:12.097-06:002012-06-25T10:19:12.097-06:00Maryann, your post made me think.

What would it be like to hear a great reader articulate my words? That might be really cool. I'm going to think about it . . . <br /><br />Thank you for this one! I like it a lot.Linda Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06686488133905538811noreply@blogger.com
