Sound Stories:  Engaging Readers through Audiobooks and Podcasts 

Featuring George Sirois


7:00pm at The HEIGHTS

8001 Dale Ave.

Richmond Heights, MO  63117

(doors open at 6:30pm)


Join the St. Louis Publishers Association on July 9 for “Sound Stories:  Engaging Readers through Audiobooks and Podcasts”, featuring George Sirois.



Audiobooks cover almost every genre, and offer benefits including convenience, accessibility, and improved comprehension. Learn how ACX, Findaway Voices, and other platforms can bring your words into readers ears. Discover the process of working with professional narrators who can transform your words into a more engaging experience. Learn how to bring your passion into the world of podcasts or hear your story come to life as a full cast audio drama. Whether you are a seasoned author or just starting out, author/audiobook narrator George Sirois will guide you through the process of deciding the best course of action for you.


George Sirois is the author of the international bestselling young adult / science-fiction novel Excelsior, its two sequels, and the five-part science-fiction / sports serial From Parts Unknown. In 2016, he officially became an audiobook narrator when he narrated the first Excelsior novel and has since lent his voice to over twenty books of varying genres. He served as President of the Missouri Writers Guild from 2017-2018 and is the host and producer of the podcasts Excelsior Journeys and From Duck Till Dark: Outside the Marvel Studios.


In March 2023, George adapted his novel Excelsior into a two-hour-long audio drama, which was performed live on the Clubhouse app with a full cast, a sound effects library, and a musical score. In 2025, he became an award-winning screenwriter with "Minus One Plus," which won Best Short Screenplay (Sci-Fi genre) at the Austin Revolution Film Festival. A New Yorker since birth, George now lives in St. Louis, Missouri with his wife and daughter. For more information, please visit hesgotit.com.
