Writers, Ink Podcast: Edoardo Ballerini discusses the art of narrating audiobooks. Contributor: BookTrib October 28, 20253 min read Share Tweet Share Pin BookTrib is proud to present to our readers the Writers, Ink podcast, a show about the business of writing. J.K. Rowling was nearly homeless when she wrote the first Harry Potter book. Stephen King penned Carrie on a small desk wedged between a washer and dryer. James Patterson worked in advertising and famously wrote the Toys “R” Us theme song long before becoming an author. Whether you’re traditionally published or indie, writing a good book is only the first step in becoming a successful author. The days of just turning a manuscript in to your editor and walking away are gone. If you want to succeed in today’s publishing world, you need to understand every aspect of the business — editing, formatting, marketing, contracts. It all starts with a good book, then the real work begins. This Week’s Episode Join hosts J.D. Barker, Christine Daigle, and Kevin Tumlinson as they discuss the week’s entertainment news, including stories about a new report for publishers, Amazon’s algorithm change, and Gen Z’s screens survey. Then, stick around for a chat with Edoardo Ballerini! Edoardo Ballerini : Called “a master in his field” (The New York Times) and “in a class by himself” (Oprah Daily), Edoardo Ballerini is an award winning narrator of audiobooks, a familiar face on screens (from The Sopranos to the recent A Murder at the End of the World), and a few other things, too.
