With the surge of audiobooks popularity and the dramatization of fiction and non-fiction recitations, do authors plan for their books to publish their work as audiobooks too? Additionally, if an author knows his book will be made into an audiobook, how does this knowledge alter the writing process? Does it affect the dialogue, narration POV, character casting, and the general format of the book? For instance, [Sleeping Giants, by Sylvain Neuvel](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25733990-sleeping-giants) is a well-written story in an interview format conducted by the MC. I think this enabled the audiobook to feel a lot more like a radio show than a book. Furthermore, do audiobooks imply more constraints on proofreaders, editors, and publishers?
