Nonfiction is where a lot of steady audiobook work lives. History, biography, business, self-help. Publishers need narrators who can carry a listener through ten hours of facts and still sound like a person.
How do you prep a book full of names, dates and quotes? And why does one narrator get the publisher's next book while another never hears back?
Sean Pratt has narrated more than 1,200 audiobooks over 30 years, for Blackstone, Tantor, Gildan, HarperCollins and Penguin Random House. He's joining me live, and I'll ask him the questions you'd ask.
What we'll cover
- How Sean preps a nonfiction title before he presses record
- What publishers listen for when they cast a nonfiction book
