I’m Kevin Cravedi, founder and editorial director of Recommended Audiobooks, an independent audiobook discovery site built to help listeners look beyond star ratings.

I develop and oversee an evidence-based recommendation approach focused on the parts of an audiobook that can shape the listening experience—including narration, pacing, immersion, mood, attention level, and listener fit.

Recommended Audiobooks brings together structured research and listening-focused insights to help readers understand not simply whether an audiobook is highly rated, but what it may actually be like to hear and who it may work best for.

I also write about audiobooks, narration, recommendation systems, and the listening experience.
