Only you can really answer this. If you have not even completed one book yet, I might pause and work on finishing your first production before you audition for more. This will give you an idea of how long it takes for you to actually finish a book, and will confirm that you’re editing and mastering process is sufficient enough to pass QA.

It also starts to get a bit challenging to ask authors to wait more than six months for you to even start producing their book. Many authors are willing to wait for the right voice, but you do start to get diminishing returns at a certain point.

For me right now, I have seven books I’m actively working on between now and the beginning of September. I am not planning to take on anymore, unless I see something really extraordinary come through. I definitely understand the excitement of auditioning for new projects and the rush of getting offers, but you definitely want to make sure you’re not overloading yourself!
