In this episode of How Publishing Works Kate Macdonald of Handheld Press is in conversation with audiobook producer Arran Dutton from Audiofactory, an audio studio in Somerset.

The conversation roams from the rise of the audiobook, how an audio studio works, how an audiobook is made, whether an author should narrator their own book, and why fantasy fiction costs more to narrate.

Arran talks a lot about No Dig by Charles Dowding. You can find him and the audiofactory team at audiofactory.co.uk.
