## Resource

In this episode, we spoke with Karen White , an award-winning audiobook narrator who recently began writing and publishing her own works under the pen name of Karen Grey . We chatted about Karen's career as an audiobook narrator, her transition into publishing as an indie author, and much more. There was such a wealth of advice and information that Karen brought to the table that we felt as if we could talk for another hour or more! Be sure to take a look at Karen's latest novel, You Get What You Give, the first in her Carolina Classics series. In this novel, an "enemies-to-lovers, new-in-town, one-night-stand unlikely love story, a boss lady and a Hollywood bad boy find that you only get as good as you give." We hope you enjoy this great conversation on the dos and don'ts of narrating audiobooks, tips on marketing, a look behind the scenes of audiobook recording, and much love for and enthusiasm about audiobooks overall!
