Thousands of audiobooks are produced annually in all areas of the country, and audiobooks have become one of the fastest growing areas for SAG-AFTRA coverage.

But where do you start, how do you grow, and how far can you go in this booming industry? Join this in-depth conversation with two of the industry’s top voices, Simon Vance and Ann Richardson, along with SAG-AFTRA National Director, Organizing Steve Sidawi.
