The Audiobooks for the Immortal Investigations are out now! Let's talk about everything that went into making these audiobooks, from planning, to production, to final costs.

I'll share every bit of industry knowledge I've learnt to explain how these books got made. Let's discuss recording studios, Kickstarters, Audible, and royalties. This is me, passing on my knowledge to any other Indie author out there, or for anyone mildly curious about the audiobook process.
