Step 1: Find a pre-1923 text you like.

Step 2: Download Audacity, its free open source software. http://www.audacityteam.org/

Step 3: Microphone and talking.

Step 4: Export mp3 files and upload.

I record and upload my audiobooks through LibriVox because they already have infrastructure(such as a mobile app) and a large listener base. I don’t see much need to re-invent the wheel.

They have great how-to’s that describe how to use Audacity to improve the quality of your audio recording in just a few clicks.

There are other ways to upload a work, which I would be glad to show how.

Librivox is a great resource. I never knew that ‘audiobooks’ were really for me, until I downloaded a few Librivox recordings on religious and philosophical topics.

I tried Audible, but they don’t seem to allow transferring to MP3, which is my preferred way of listening while I travel around doing things. And Librivox is free.

Doesn’t that run into copyright laws? There aren’t any Richard Marcinko audiobooks, and that’s probably by his decision.

To be honest, sounds to me like a great way to have multiple lawsuits thrown at you.
