I have reported on the radio for almost three decades, but I very much doubt I would have the courage to read a book, especially my own.
I agree with your editor that your not being as fluid as a native speaker "might actually be a selling point, that it would feel real and authentic." I love listening to the real author of a book.
I love this story about your storytelling! I lived in Kyoto in my 20s, & you being me right back to the magic of Japanese culture and the braid w/ with American strands of stories. Thank you. 🙏👏
You made the right call! Congratulations! Really looking forward to the book. Now I figure out how to order the English version to our place here in Korea :-D
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I published a book last year and did the audiobook myself, too. I'm now working on the Japanese translation of the book. I'm not a native speaker, so I couldn't imagine want to do the Japanese audiobook recording. You've changed my mind. Thank you!
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your process. Recording an audiobook sounds like a lot of hard work and it's really great you were able to do it. I look forward to reading your book!
What an amazing accomplishment!

I love hearing your story. I recorded the audio version of my book in December of 2024 and really enjoyed it. Congratulations!

I have pre-ordered a copy and I can't wait for it to arrive! I think now I'll be keen to listen to the audiobook too.
Thank you!
