I just released an exciting new episode of the Online For Authors podcast all about a creative way for authors to adapt their books into an immersive audio experience - audio dramas!
My guest this week was George Sirois, an author, podcaster, and audiobook narrator who recently adapted his own sci-fi novel Excelsior into an audio drama. He shared his journey of condensing a 7-hour audiobook into a compelling 1-hour dramatization, complete with a full cast of voice actors, sound effects, and an original music score. Some key takeaways on creating your own audio drama adaptation:
George's enthusiasm for pushing the boundaries of storytelling is contagious. As he put it, adapting your book into an audio drama is an amazing opportunity to "maintain control over what you're doing but at the same time pivot in terms of getting your work adapted to a different medium." It allows you to explore which aspects of the story are essential and which can be trimmed away. I encourage you to check out the full interview for a fascinating deep dive into the process of adapting a novel into an immersive audio experience. It may inspire you to bring your own characters to life in a whole new way! Happy listening! P.S. Want to keep the conversation going?
