The Audiobook Committee Presents Beyond ACX

On Saturday, April 27th audiobook narrators Jeffrey Kafer and Andi Arndt will be in Chicago to share their wisdom on the business of audiobooks.

Kafer and Arndt (with the possibility of additional contributors) will focus this discussion for experienced members. This session will discuss ways to navigate the ins and out of ACX, as well as building careers beyond ACX. How do you make contacts at publishing houses or with independent authors?  How many books do you need under your belt before you even start the process? These, and many other questions will be answered during this discussion. 

Seating is limited.

This session is best suited for narrators who have completed at least three audiobooks. If you are new to audiobooks and want to learn some tools and tricks of the trade, the afternoon session is best suited for you.
