Audiobooks are the fastest growing area of publishing, and it’s easy to see why: in today’s busy world, an interruption is never far away.

That’s why more and more people are consuming books while driving to and from work, cooking, mowing the lawn, and so on. Audiobooks allow us to pack more into our day.

Modern streaming platforms like Audible make things even easier. We can carry a whole audio-library around with us on our smart phones, dipping in and out of everything from science fiction to political biographies as and when we feel like it.

It might seem a little odd to present this as a revolution – after all, audiobooks have been around for a long time – but it’s undeniable that new technology has led to a dramatic increase in availability and sales. Increasingly ‘publishing a book’ is not complete without having an audio version of your work.

Children’s picture books are another growth area for audiobooks. Of course, you’re never going to get illustrations on record, but audio has possibilities of its own: lush soundscapes can bring your story to life, and the right narrator can imbue your words with soothing tones just right for bed time.
