Exploring Options!

Being an author since 2020 and publishing my first book in 2021, I began to think about how to distribute my books in different kinds of formats. So, I tried to begin the process of creating e-books, Kindles, Audibles, Nook, and libraries. As you may or may not know, doing an Audible and creating a Kindle can be time consuming but worthwhile.
Because technology is advancing so much, readers need the options to explore Audibles, e-books, and Kindles in a variety of ways. I think this really depends on how a reader likes to see the print or hear the story on Audible.
As you are reading a book, an Audible that goes along with the book can sometimes be helpful. If you choose not to do this, just reading it in a book or listening to an Audible is fun. I listen to many different Audibles as I am a passenger in a car a lot.
So, I have a variety of different ones that I like to listen to such as biblical, history, and other types of interesting Audibles that suit my fancy. In my opinion Audible must have an outgoing personality for me to listen to or I go to sleep if the Audible is too mellow or monotone.
With creating my Audibles, I choose to work through parents and have a child read the books for me on Audible. Narrators charge by the number of words that are in the book so the process can take a long time with the recording, the author’s approval timeframe, and Audibles quality control process.
For e-books and Kindles, I believe that there are many readers who choose to go this route rather than a print copy. Through technological advances, a reader can use an app, websites, e-book readers, and digital e-book libraries on the computer with e-book to display on a screen. I also have books on Nook that can be read on those devices as well.
Finally, I began the process of getting some of my books approved in local and out of state libraries by contacting the developmental offices of each library system that handle purchasing the books for the library. Once approved, your books will be in the library for checkout. This is just another method of getting your book out in the library.
I have listed below some of where a reader can find more of my books from e-book distributors, Audibles, Kindles, and at libraries that I have books in currently. This list is not all inclusive since I am still working on creating more opportunities for readers to receive my books in different formats.
