I have some exciting news. The audiobook version of my recent book When Your Life Depends on It: Extreme Decision-making Lessons from the Antarctic, (co-written with Brad Borkan) has been nominated for a prestigious SOVAS award.
Good Morning America called the Voice Arts Awards “The Oscars of voiceover acting.” The annual event is sponsored by the nonprofit Society of Voice Arts & Sciences (SOVAS) will be held November 18 at the Warner Bros. Studio in Burbank.
The awards feature nearly 75 categories across multiple genres. Our book is one of five nominees in the category “Audiobook Narration—History, Best Voiceover.”
The narrator, Dennis Kleinman, lets his love of the spoken word shine through in this audio production. We are all in notable company in this category, which includes Cosmos by Carl Sagan and Lincoln’s Last Trial by Dan Abrams and David Fisher.
This is one more example of a self-published book rising to national attention.

One of my favorite things about BAIPA is its culture of generosity, the willingness — even eagerness — to share what we have each learned in the process of bringing stories to life. We provide educational programs, networking, marketing opportunities, encouragement, and information on industry vendors and services. And lots of one-on-one advice and mentoring.
We welcome all who have an interest in making connections within the world of independent publishing and learning more about how to publish and sell their work successfully. Together we are raising the standard of independent publishing and helping our members thrive.
Do join us!
