This week, the audiobook of The Smallest Thing went into pre-production. I am trying (and failing) to contain my excitement, but honestly, I cannot wait to hear Em and her story come to life. The person who’s going to make that happen is Charlie Sanderson.
Charlie is the voice over artist who’ll be narrating The Smallest Thing. I knew from the second I heard her audition that she was the one. She captured Em’s attitude perfectly, and really brought to life the characters and personality of the village. Wait until you hear her Mrs. Glover.
While Charlie has a talent for accents, Em’s voice won’t be too much of a stretch for her. Charlie was born in Yorkshire (like me!), grew up in Derbyshire, and went to school just a few miles away from the real-life village of Eyam. Really, it was meant to be.
You can find out more about Charlie’s work at her website, charlie-sanderson.com. You can also find on her Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. Just be warned: she is Dog-mum to a very cute black lab puppy, who is a natural for the camera.
I can’t wait to share samples of the early chapters from Charlie. Meanwhile, here is the new audiobook cover for The Smallest Thing. It will be available later this summer.
Every month, from now until publication, I’ll be offering my newsletter subscribers the chance to win pre-launch copies of the new audiobook. If you’re not yet subscribed, click here. You’ll also get some free readable goodies and news from me once or twice a month. Good luck!

The Smallest Thing sounds very good. The audio cover is very engaging and makes me want to get my hands on the book right away!
Ooh, good. Thanks, Deb. 🙂
It must be so exciting to hear your books come to life when the characters read!
Julia, it is. I wrote a post about it this week. It was a surprising experience.
I’m so happy to read your book news. Congratulations on all your hard work! Thanks for the chance to win a copy!
Thank you, Danielle. It’s fun to have news to share.
How exciting! Can’t wait to hear it.
Thanks, Christie. 🙂
Awesome. Thanks for the chance to win
Would love to give this one a listen. Thanks for the chance!
I love audio books for my commute to work and love when the reader captures the characters and makes them come to life!
Sounds great would love to win a advanced copy. Love audio books especially when driving.
Thanks for chance.
I can’t wait to listen to it, whether I win or not! Thanks for sharing your wonderful stories with the world!
I never have audiobooks. I would love to have this one. The story sounds great. Would love to hear the reader’s voice bring characters to life. Thanks for the offer.
Loved The Smallest Thing! Might even get to visit Eyam if this job in the UK comes through. 🙂
Ooh! You should. And the pub in Sheffield!
Were you in the studio when she read her book? I would imagine that would be a very interesting experience : )
I wasn’t, but that would have been interesting. It’s a little bit odd to hear your words spoken by someone else, but I’, also enjoying her interpretation.
Congratulations to Julia, this month’s winner of the giveaway.
For another chance to win, please go to this week’s new post and leave a comment. I’ll draw another winner on August 14.
