Welcome to the February issue of Books+Publishing’s monthly Independent Publishing newsletter—the first of 2023.
As well as a round-up of some of the big publishing news from the past two months, this month’s newsletter takes a look at the booming industry of audiobooks: David Stokes, founder of author2audio, has written a piece for authors who are considering whether they want to record an audio version of their book. He covers all sorts of topics, from choosing a narrator to how much the production will cost. Also featured this month is a Q&A with author Lisa Van Der Wiele, who recently won the US SCBWI Spark Award for her picture book, Little Dune.
Happy reading (and writing)!
