Season Two continues with a deep dive into the world of audiobooks. In our fourteenth episode, we speak to Dominic Gribben, Co-Director of the Hachette UK audio publishing team, who oversees audio across Hodder & Stoughton, Headline, John Murray Press, Quercus and more.
Our conversation stems from the exciting news that Hachette UK and New Writing North have opened a dedicated new audiobook recording studio in the North East — a major investment in regional publishing and talent. We talk to Dominic about how audiobooks are made, the rise in their popularity, the art of casting the right voice, and what goes into bringing a book to life through sound.
Take a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of a booming part of the publishing world.
