Audiobooks are a great choice for commuters or people who have prolonged tedious tasks to perform and desire content for entertainment or education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve produced some of my titles in audio. I&#8217;ve hired narrators, recorded some myself, and am now experimenting with the automated narration tools provided to Google Play publishers. Although the auto narration lacks qualities that only a live narrator can provide, I price the auto-narrated titles at the super cheap price of $0.99. Some people buy them because they like the stories and don&#8217;t mind the limitations of auto-narration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.audible.com\/author\/Tracy-Falbe\/B002BLWI3S\">Audible<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/author\/tracy-falbe\/id365797627?see-all=audio-books\">Apple<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/audiobooks\/details?id=AQAAAECM5B-kgM&amp;hl=en&amp;gl=US\">Google Play<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/5gsU5LR0IH8nGR9VgiXT9K\">Spotify<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/author\/15138235\/Tracy-Falbe\">Scribd<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/s\/%22Tracy+Falbe%22\/_\/N-2sgz?Ns=P_Sales_Rank&amp;Ntk=P_key_Contributor_List&amp;Ntx=mode+matchall\">Nook<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/search?query=tracy+falbe&amp;ac=1&amp;acp=tracy+falbe&amp;ac.author=tracy+falbe&amp;sort=Temperature&amp;fcmedia=Audiobook\">Kobo<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/falbepublishing.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/NonFiction.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/falbepublishing.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/NonFiction.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/stsp\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img\/https:\/\/falbepublishing.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/NonFiction.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/stsp\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img\/https:\/\/falbepublishing.com\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/NonFiction-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Although I love writing fiction, I&#8217;ve also written some nonfiction titles over the years.
