What kind of book are you working on?

Why this exists

A clear answer to the questions that stall most narrators.

Most authors thinking about narrating their own audiobook get stuck on the same questions:

  • Will my voice actually carry a whole book?
  • How much will this realistically cost me, in time and money?
  • Is AI narration good enough that I shouldn't bother?
  • If I do this, will it sound professional or will listeners notice?

The quiz answers those for your specific book. You'll get a personalized recommendation telling you whether self-narration is right for you, what it will take if it is, and what alternatives make more sense if it is not.
