hmmmm… is this still on? For some reason this topic slipped through my grasp! This opportunity sounds excitingly fun.

Still on, you betcha.

Have only one entry so far.

Out of curiosity, how is it decided what ends up on audiobook? Or what the National Institute for the Blind will make into a Talking Book?

Winter - far as I know:

hard sales figures

multiple requests by people who want a title, asking for it. I have no idea what the "magic number" for that is…either way.

people really can do opposite sex voices. one of my favorite audio books was 'Left Hand of Darkness' and a female read the whole book, and just by change of expression, not pitch, you could tell. Joan Chen read the 'Bonesetters Daughter' and it sounded perfectly plausible when she did the male voices, altho admittedly there weren't many male voices. happy day!!
