I have recently self-published a book and tried to hire a producer for the Audible version on ACX. 4 weeks later, it's still pending review. I already have people in my audience asking for the audible version So, I'm thinking of hiring a narrator on Upwork or Fiverr to record it. I am also considering recording the audiobook myself, but I am unsure how it will turn out; I am secretly worried that my accent may not resonate with my broader audience who already engages with my written work. 🙂 Any thoughts P.S. I consume 90% of new books via audio now (about 50 last year), so I know audio is the way to go

Hi everyone, Delighted to be here. I’m Dr Andy Egwim, founder of Moneywise Doctor. I recently authored and self-published my first book, The Moneywise Doctor, a non-fiction personal finance book initially written for UK doctors and healthcare professionals, which went on to become an Amazon bestseller shortly after launch. A big part of our launch was driven by pre-orders and community support, and along the way I found Julie’s content on YouTube incredibly helpful. Her videos clarified a lot of the self-publishing process for me, so I was really pleased to discover this community on Skool. I’m here to learn, share ideas, and collaborate with other non-fiction authors navigating the self-publishing journey. Looking forward to connecting and contributing where I can. Andy

I have a lot of people who ask if my books are available to be listened to. Should I invest the time and money to make them into Audio books?
