I have a request for you all. A dear friend and colleague, beloved in the audiobook production community, is battling ALS (aka Lou Gehrig’s disease). His name is Bob Deyan, and while you may not have heard of him, his company Deyan Audio has probably produced at least one if not dozens of the books that you’ve listened to. Their production facility is in Los Angeles, where they cast, record, do research for, edit and master audiobooks for all the major publishers. Here’s their website:

In support of his battle, and to help him raise money to research ALS treatment (which, sadly, will likely not help him personally), a group of narrators are organizing a fundraiser, in two parts. One is a live 24-hour read-a-thon in Los Angeles, the other is an online auction of unique audiobook-related items. Both will take place the first week of November.
In order to make the auction a success, we’re looking for input. What sort of items would you, as serious audiobook fans, bid on? We will take any and all ideas and do our best to find or create or convince someone to commit to such items.
For instance, would you be interested in:
o audiobook collections/series (what are your favorites)
o autographed audiobooks
o Narrators of note (who is this to you?) recording your voicemail greeting personalizing a story for you/other suggestions?
o any other ideas???
I will pass on more specifics as I get them, but we really appreciate your input at this stage.
