What is SYNC?
|
| • SYNC is a program that develops the audience of teen/YA audiobook listeners.
• Two complete digital audiobooks--a current Young Adult title paired thematically with a Classic or assigned Summer Reading title--are available FREE each week to listeners ages 13+.
• A dedicated SYNC group on audiobookcommunity.com is the hub of the delivery of the downloads, editorial content, and user engagement. The audiobook titles were selected to inspire follow-up listening.
