I'm proud that I'm writing a publishing rights agreement contract that forbids me from using AI for narration or art design. I'm legally forbidding myself. Authors and narrators deserve it. If you'd like to learn more or to support, go to bellworksaudio.com

Quick BellWorks Audio Update: I'm leaning heavily towards running the funding campaign through our own website. That would allow me to reimburse all backers with for buying the audio book and gets around what Kickstarter was preventing. Will have more info soon. Same great idea - but better for the backers who would actually get the audiobooks for backing it (as a reimbursement for whatever Audible charged them for it)
