Spanish Language Audiobook Market Social 5
Our first four Spanish Language Audiobook Market Socials were popular, so we're meeting again! As this market grows we are gathering members actively recording in Spanish or interested in what’s happening with the market for a casual conversation. We'll share some facts about the market then break into small groups to connect. Join us!
