Audiobook Production
The right voice for your story
A great narrator can make a listener fall in love with a book. We audition narrators for your project and send you samples reading your own pages, so you choose the voice with confidence. Prefer to narrate it yourself? We can coach you and record you too.
Recording happens in treated studios, followed by careful editing to remove breaths, clicks and mistakes, then mastering to the technical standards required by Audible (ACX), Apple Books and Google Play.
Once approved, your audiobook is distributed to the major audio platforms, including Audible, Amazon, Apple Books, Spotify, Google Play, Kobo and library services.

Talk to a specialist
How long does audiobook production take?
Most audiobooks take 4 to 8 weeks from casting to final files, depending on length. One finished hour of audio takes several hours to record, edit and master.
Can I narrate my own audiobook?
Yes. Memoir and business authors often do. We provide coaching, direction and professional editing so your recording sounds polished.
Who owns the audiobook?
You own the recording and all royalties. Unlike royalty-share deals, you pay once and keep your earnings.
What does an audiobook cost?
Audiobooks are priced per finished hour of audio. A typical 70,000 word book is around 7 to 8 finished hours. You receive a fixed quote after we review your manuscript.
