I had the privilege of doing my own audio book with Audible for the Lightning Fast Field Guide to the Bible,

and it is different than the print book. They had me just wing it and fill in a whole bunch of other stuff.

They were like, hey, this won't work in an audiobook for me. You got to turn it into like an actual paragraph book.

And I was like, without a script. And they were like an actual paragraph book. And I was like,
