## Resource

This year, 10 Audiobook Adventurers received nominations for the 2026 Audie Awards , across multiple categories (yes, including Audiobook of the Year ). 🎧✨ In this episode, host Elise Arsenault gathers finalists - graduates of The Great Audiobook Adventure , to celebrate, share honestly about what this milestone feels like, and share what they’ve learned along the way. If you’re building your own audiobook narration career, curious about how nominations happen, or you just need a little encouragement on your creative path, this one’s for you. We talk about: How self-submitting to awards works (and why you might consider it) The emotional reality of being recognized (hello, imposter syndrome) Full-cast projects, credits, and what happens behind the scenes Navigating heavy material and historic stories with care Networking, self-promotion, and staying resilient in a noisy industry Most importantly: your work is worthy, whether it comes with a nomination or not. 🌿 Featuring: André Santana @andreonthemic Angel Pean @angelpean_ Cerris Morgan-Moyer @cerrismm Emana Rachelle @emanarachelle Emma Faye @emmafayeactor James Aaron Oh @jamesaaronoh Mieko Gavia @sooo_grood Mirai @hi.mirai Nicole Cash @nicolecashchronicles Tyla Collier @tyla_collier Please join us in celebrating them, and if you’re active on Instagram, their handles can be found above!
