Writing for the Ear

Presented at A New HOPE (2022), July 24, 2022, 4 p.m. (50 minutes)

The purpose of this proposed talk is to explain the audiobook process, be it for LibriVox, Reading for the Blind, or Audible. Topics to discuss will include post-production delivery formats, production workflows (covering hardware and software), and setting up pre-production (book production and personnel coordination). Emphasis will be placed on free/libre toolchains, existing talking book and audiobook standards, and preventing problems that can snarl the workflow.
