Hi! I know I haven’t published a lot of blog posts on here, but I figured I could post something new for those who do see this at the bottom of the home page.
What’s the big news?
I’m starting to dabble in audiobooks! (Kinda…)
While I haven’t hired a professional narrator for my books (yet), I’ve been reading some of them out loud and posting them on Youtube and my Patreon. (Yay!)
I am by no means a professional narrator, but I’ve had readers request some kind of audio for a while and this is the easiest way for me to do it right now. (I’ve also had people tell me I have a very soothing voice while reading…) Eventually I plan to have my books professionally narrated and available on various audiobook sites, but for now YouTube and Patreon is where you’ll find them.
Why Youtube and Patreon? And how?
Well… YouTube is accessible to most everyone and I can eventually monetize my audiobooks on there (just 3,000 more hours!)
As for Patreon, that’s where I’m slowly building my community and it’s a place where folks can support me for a few bucks a month. It’s also where I put extras and bonuses either first or exclusively.
How am I going to do it with these two sites?
First off, all audio is going to be available (scene by scene) on Patreon to my Bookwyrm and BCL Founding Friends tier. ($10 or $15 a month respectively)
Then, after the scenes are available on Patreon, I’ll post the full chapter on YouTube (just of already published books—so stories that are exclusive to Patreon, the audio will also only be available on Patreon).
So if you want to be the first to listen to me read my stories (or listen to me read stories that are exclusive to Patreon), then join me here!
If you want to listen to the chapters on YouTube, then join me here! Also be sure to like and subscribe because technically my 9 year old has more subscribers on her channel, posting Cookie Run Kingdom videos and that is… kinda embarrassing, lol. Just kidding (at least about the embarrassing part)…
Always a bookwyrm,
Laura
