Audio book or literary agent ...

This piece from today's New York Times reports that writers trying to find a readership may be better off investing in some simple audio gear than looking for a literary agent to hawk their writings. Just another sign of how fast this whole industry is changing. One Internet entrepreneur who has had success building an audience with his audiobooks but it this way:

“I’m just completely impatient with the publishing world,” (Mr. Jeffrey) said. “Even if a publisher said yes tomorrow, it would be a full year before the book was in the marketplace. Coming from the Internet, that was just insane to me.”

This is a great site which is relevant u r site.,which deals with mp3, Audiobook, Audio book, Ipod, Audio and all kinds of info.Audio books have saved me from living in total disrepair.I must agree, audiobooks are my own addiction. I'm fortunate enough to work where I can listen to audiobooks all day long. I convert them to mp3 and can load 5 unabridged books on my player at a time.

Thank you for the information in this article. I am from the U.K so it is fascinating to hear what is going on in the literary world of America. I am determined to have my writings published as audio books. I appreciate the comments
