*CFP: /Journal of Electronic Publishing /special issue on audiobooks*

*Deadline: *18 October 2019

The /Journal of Electronic Publishing /(/JEP/)//invites submissions to a 
special issue on audiobooks. Topics may include, but are not limited to:

·Production: audiobooks in publishing workflows, the rise of 
audiobook-only publishers, rights management.

·Consumption: demographic analysis, usage patterns, divergence between 
ebook and audiobook consumption.

·The economics of audiobooks: subscription services, infrastructure 
costs, pricing models.

·Materiality: formats, standard bodies (e.g. W3C/DAISY), media choices 
(CD/cassette/MP3).

·History: precursors to audiobooks, forgotten/alternate histories and 
media archaeologies.

·Geography: variation of uptake across nations, licensing/rights, 
audiobooks in non-Anglophone contexts

·Accessibility and inclusivity: text-to-speech engines as audiobooks, 
libraries for print-disabled users, representation through narration.

·Genre: adoption of audiobooks by genre, born-audio publications, 
interactive audiobook publishing.

Since /JEP/ is an online-only publication, while 6,000-8,000 words is 
recommended, we are open to longer or shorter form submissions if it 
benefits the piece.

/JEP /is a gold open access journal with no Article Processing Charge (APC).

Manuscripts should be submit via /JEP/’s Submittable portal:
