I hired a friend to narrate chapter 1 of my novel.
I can finally post again! So yeah, I hired a friend of mine to narrate chapter 1 of my novel, A Chronicle of Lies. What do you guys think? I'd love to have him do an audiobook someday but ..expensive. I might turn this into a Patreon tier (I won't link it here of course).

I would recommend publishing it proper. Audiobooks are more accessible to a lot people, and if your book makes any headway in becoming known, more people will probably end up buying the audiobook than the regular one.
Plus, while I understand full well how honking expensive this stuff gets, locking an accessibility feature behind a paywall is a little bleh. You could maybe talk to your patrons about some sort of kickstarter thing instead.
Though take all of this with a grain of salt. You’ve had way more success than I have getting pepple to read your book.
