Yet content is not always easy to convey in audio. When you’re putting words to paper, you know they’ll translate to just about any medium: paperback, eBook, etc. It didn’t change the way I see BloodLoss, however it has shown me that some of my future material is perfect for the audiobook experience. Has having your audio version produced affected your writing? How? It’s a “pay-it-forward” type of situation. If that happens, then I get potential customers.

My thought is they will browse my site, maybe even link to it. I read books from other authors in similar genres and posted reviews on my blog for free. For Bloodloss, I decided to try a different strategy. My marketing is usually limited to Facebook, blog, word of mouth, and well placed business cards at the donut shop. What have your marketing efforts for this book been? Ultimately, the main reason I choose to create an audiobook was that, through ACX, it would have access to multiple markets, like Audible, Amazon and iTunes. I started investigating if it would be feasible to create a BloodLoss audiobook. After a few conversations, I found out there is a part of the population that will only listen to audiobooks. One of my coworkers said he hasn’t checked it out because it’s not an audiobook. I was talking to a few folks at work about my book. Why did you decide to produce an audio version of your title?

My recent audiobook project is “ BloodLoss – Ten Twisted Tales.” An awesome gentleman named Jonathan Waters narrated each and every twisted tale. Tell us about your recent audiobook project. He joins us today to talk about getting reviews by leaving reviews and keeping audio in mind when writing his next books. Leonard Johnson is a first time author who recently became a first time audiobook publisher through ACX.
