Tell lawmakers you deserve the right to control your own voice and likeness 💪 Take two minutes to support the NO FAKES Act. #nofakes Make your voice heard here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/su...

I don't care what anyone says. Audiobooks don't count as kneading. You can listen to them while making bread though. #Audiobooks

This week's Audiobook Tip for Authors is about whether you should let the professionals help with casting: youtube.com/shorts/yeKoP... #IndieAuthors

Words have multiple meanings, especially when technology changes. That means you can write a book with a typewriter, you can hang up a cell phone, and you can read an audiobook!

I wonder if "poverty consultant" will be in the running for word of the year?

I’m not usually one to get excited over a movie, but I might actually venture out to a theater to see “Project Hail Mary”. The audiobook was SO GOOD!

I’m accepting submissions for only 6 more days for 2026 wide audiobook projects! (I’m always taking submissions for PFH projects).

Our Audiobook Narrator panel at Emerald City Comic Con (ECCC) was a blast! Thanks Gary for the photos! (With @gary-bennett.com, @lessalamb.bsky.social , @shiromispeaks.com, Shana Pennington-Baird, and Carrie Coello) #ECCC2026

Just sat down to watch the #Audies. Put down my coffee, grabbed my laptop with my left hand, and grabbed what I thought was my leopard-print throw pillow on my right. It was my cat. Sorry, Professor Meowsworth!

Happy Adele Dazeem day to those who celebrate!

That feeling you get after listening to an entire Non-fiction audiobook over the weekend

Before the term "Cozy Fantasy" was coined, I had a hard time finding those kinds of stories. Even after the term became common, it still wasn't a category on Amazon. I blogged about it, campaigning for it to be a category. I'm not saying it was my blog that did it, but at long last...

I have a bean to pick with you, @hankgreen.bsky.social. You're bean puns on Focus Friend are too distracting. I can't focus!

I just added the question "Do you use generative AI to write your books?" to my Audiobook Royalty Share Interest Form to weed out any new wave plagiarists. #AudiobookNarrator #Audiobooks #Authors

Indie authors: Are you planning to publish your audiobook wide this year? #IndieAuthors #Audiobooks

I’ve been to a number of fantastic book events in the last couple of years, but I have heard some horror stories about a few. Do your research before attending! becksvoice.com/how-do-you-a... #Books #Authors #AudiobookNarrators

Back in school I was great at math, except for the story problems, which were few. As an adult, I now realize that all math is story problems and therefore I'm horrible at math.

It's taken me until today to realize that my confidence in my out of the box thinking likely came from being a big fan of Bert and Ernie. Bert was always a realistic pessamist, while Ernie had these crazy ideas that somehow worked.
