Pen in one hand, bonhomie in the other, she has managed to tell us everything we must know about what it takes to succeed as an audiobook publisher.” (Paul Alan Ruben, writer, Grammy-winning audiobook producer, director, storytelling teacher)

“Want your voice to be heard? Then start by listening to this book. Jessica Kaye’s 6 Rules of Audiobook Publishing will make your recordings sound better and reach more listeners.” (Matthew Rubery, author of The Untold Story of the Talking Book)

Incredible resource for audiobook production

The book is filled with such great information that I bought the paperback afterwards just to have as a reference. Jessica is comfortable and pleasant to listen to.
