The new edition of AudioFile Magazine is available online.  I’m giving you a free look on my account just this once.  Don’t abuse it.

This is perhaps not as slick an online publication as my favorite: EQ Magazine…but it’s not bad!

AudioFile Magazine is for those who are fans of audiobooks…so you’ll find lots of reviews of current and new audiobook releases…articles on narrators and software/hardware preferences, etc.  It comes out every two months, and you can order the snail-mail copy if you want.

The reason I hang out here is twofold.  I desire to be a regular audiobook narrator, and to do so you have to immerse yourself in the industry…read their blogs, their articles, meet the people, go to the conferences, and yes, read the magazine.

The other reason I am a subscriber to AudioFile magazine is that it provides access to the AudioFile site.

TONS of information here about the audiobook industry…including — and this is key — the Audiobook Reference Guide.  This is billed as:  ”The Audiobook Industry’s SourceBook” and indeed it is.

To be listed as a talent or publisher here costs money, but if you just want to search Publishers, Narrators, or Industry Services, it’s an open book.  The search mechanism is excellent, and the listings are the most complete in the industry.  If you want audiobooks as part of your VO career…this site is a must.

Check it out!
