    Julia Whelan has narrated 600 audiobooks and counting. So why isn’t she paid like it?

      > the audiobook industry is growing. Statista projects this year it will reach $9.84 billion because of smartphones, the increased popularity of audio content and people’s desire to multitask. Despite the appetite for audiobooks, for narrators, “the financial aspect makes zero sense,” says Whelan. She’s founded her own publishing company, Audiobrary, to help narrators get paid more fairly.

      I’m glad to hear that any segment of the book industry is doing well and wish her well.

    2. Unfortunately, most voice acting work is likely to be replaced with A.I. extremely soon.

    3. She’s a victim of a form of identity theft / impersonation, legally, by a mega corporation.
