Readers are listening: Best practices in the production and distribution of audiobooks

In this session Jessica Albert, Art Director & Digital Production Manager at ECW Press and Brendan Ouellette, Digital Project Manager at Annick Press, discuss the many options available to large and small publishers when creating an audiobook program from the ground up. Learn how to develop an audiobook strategy, including the considerations that come with creating audiobooks in-house, how to sell audio rights, and how to work with third-parties and freelancers. Using their experiences at ECW Press and Annick Press, as well as sharing updates from other houses, Jessica and Brendan share lessons learned and the hurdles still to overcome in the Canadian audiobook landscape.
