I just finished the audiobook of my latest collection, which I had published myself. (I have a small publishing company). I recorded in my own office, worked with an audio engineer who set me up ($35 microphone, free recording software), cleaned up the files, made them just right for Audible, and we are awaiting review. I've done three prose books with him, so I know his work is good--we've never been rejected by Audible. Do you think I have enough experience to create a care package?
Thanks for sharing this! It would be great to chat some more -- do you mind dropping me an email (hello@emilystoddard.com)? I've heard from a few folks with audiobook experience that have interest in making a care package... I wonder if this might even be a short series of posts, to show different ways of going about it.

Mia sent me an emoji, and I can't see what it is!
Re: "Publisher eligibility for inclusion/waive-to-play" ...thank you. For supporting my ability to "play." For pushing against the norm.
I would love to see a "care package on archive-tending/death-and-transition-care for your body of work as a writer"
Noted! Thanks, Colleen.
I would love to know how to create an audiobook from my poems. Poets are in need of help…!
Hearing more interest on this, so hopefully we can get something put together -- thanks, Elizabeth!
