Understanding Audiobooks: A New Chapter for Writers
Intermediate/Advanced. Listen closely: the publishing world is changing right before your ears. Audiobooks now outsell e-books and print—impacting not only the way literature is consumed, but how it’s written. Narrator/producer Brian Callanan, with help from award-winning author Wendy Terrien, explains this format’s rapid rise in popularity and how you can turn your own work into an audiobook. Students will get hands-on experience with narrating, learn how to hire a narrator, and discover how audiobooks can improve their writing craft.
Beginning Fall 2021, we will be adding select in-person classes back to our course catalog. The majority of our classes will still be offered via Zoom.
If a class says IN-PERSON in its title, it will take place in person at our permanent home in Seattle.
If a class says ASYNCHRONOUS in its title, it will take place on Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform.
If a class does not have a marker after its title, it will take place via Zoom.
