Helen,
I thank you so much! I've been wanting to do this but did not have the
details of how to do it -
I'll be so excited to listen to you book on Audible, too. You have given us
invaluable advice. I know for certain I will be doing this with my book.
It is selling and I get royalties just about every month but I really would
love to hear it by a human voice myself. I can only imagine how excited you
were when you could listen to your own book! Again, I cannot thank you
enough for this great information. Lynda L.

Thank you, all, for your good wishes and shared celebration of the Audible
version of Everyday Cruelty! I'm glad the detail was helpful for those
considering it. Lynda, you asked about where to get it started? You just go
to acx.com, and initiate it but claiming your book. After that you set up a
call for auditions by uploading a short sample you want people to read. And
you'll start getting auditions! Good luck, everyone!
Warmly,
Helen

I'm happy to loop around my truly positive experience. The hardest part was
choosing the narrator, seeking the right affect, tone, cadence. I ended up

I hope others have good experiences, and am happy to be in touch about it.
