How It Works for Authors
Your Audiobook Journey, Simplified.
You have the story. We have the audio expertise. Here is our clear, step by step process to take your manuscript from page to playback, with full support at every stage.
Start Your Project with Confidence
Get Started with Your Title
Begin by sharing your manuscript with us. We'll review it to understand the tone, characters, and scope. This helps us determine the best production strategy, narrator profile, and the right package for your project. We'll guide you through every decision, from choosing a narrator to setting a realistic timeline.
Create Your Project Brief
You'll provide us with a detailed description of your book, character notes, and any specific performance directions. This brief is what we use to find your perfect voice. If you already have a narrator in mind or plan to self narrate, we can adapt our process to support you. If you have prerecorded audio, we can also handle the editing, mastering, and quality assurance.
Collaborate on Production
Choose Your Payment Plan
We offer flexible payment options to suit your budget. You can choose to pay upfront for the entire project, or split the cost into milestone payments tied to key phases of production (e.g., casting approval, recording completion, final delivery). Our tiered production packages also provide a clear, all-inclusive price based on your book's length.
Bring Your Story to Life
Your narrator, guided by our experienced producers, will record and deliver a retail-ready audiobook. We build in regular checkpoints for you to listen to samples and provide feedback on pacing, character voices, and overall tone, ensuring the final product matches your vision.
Quality Assurance & Mastering
Once you approve the final recording, our audio engineers perform rigorous quality control. We check for technical perfection, ensuring the audio meets all ACX and industry standards for noise floor, room tone, and RMS levels. We handle any final tweaks so your audiobook is flawless.
Distribute, Position, and Grow
Global Distribution & Discovery
We distribute your finished audiobook to all major platforms, including Audible, Apple Books, Spotify, Google Play, Kobo, and library systems like OverDrive and Hoopla. Your story becomes available to listeners worldwide.
Metadata & Strategic Positioning
This is where we go beyond just distribution. We optimize your title's metadata, keywords, categories, and retail descriptions, specifically engineered to boost search rankings and organic discoverability. For faith based health or personal testimony books, we target the right niche audience so your message finds the right listeners.
Track Your Success & Ongoing Support
Use our sales dashboard to monitor your performance across platforms. We provide promo codes for reviewers and fans to help generate early buzz and reviews. And unlike many services, we don't disappear after launch. We stay involved to adjust positioning, categories, or distribution strategy as needed to support your audiobook's long term reach.
