The Business: "The Business Of Writing" Talks Audiobooks with Audiobook Man Luke Daniels

Today's post is another Business of Writing podcast episode, focusing on audiobooks. Goes about an hour. If you have observations that I missed, drop them in the Comments below.

I agree that audio has a good future going forward, but I don't think that writers should favor audio--or write for audio--over their home medium. It should be treated like any other media adaptation: a secondary, and unstable, source of additional revenue for the work you produce. It's just that, like merchandise, it is now possible for writers to assume full control over a secondary income stream so it makes no sense to leave that money on the table.
