Full Production
Author-funded professional audiobook production with a structured end-to-end production process.
Explore Full Production50/50 Production Partnership
For selected titles, TBTaudio may participate as a production partner, with audiobook revenue/royalties divided 50/50 according to the written agreement. Partnership is selective and subject to evaluation.
Explore PartnershipEvery Title Is Evaluated Individually
We believe the best audiobook productions begin with the right project. Every title submitted to TBTaudio is reviewed individually for production suitability, rights availability, quality, audience considerations and overall fit. Not every submission is accepted, and partnership opportunities are reserved for projects that meet our evaluation criteria.

Testimonials
Authors and publishers trust our process.
“I was terrified of ending up with a robotic, lifeless narration. TBTaudio found a voice actor who understood the gritty tone of my protagonist perfectly. It sounds like a movie.”
Mark T. Bowman
Author of Shadows of the Valley
“As an independent author, taking the leap into audio felt overwhelming. The team walked me through every step. My listeners love the narrator's warm energy.”
Clara Lin
Author of The Minimalist Kitchen Habit
“I tried recording myself and it was a disaster. TBTaudio matched me with a professional who nailed the accent, and the audio quality is crystal clear. Worth every penny.”
Rachel Vance
Author of Beneath the Willow
“I have a lot of distinct characters, and I needed a narrator with real range, not a text to speech bot. The casting choices they sent over were incredible.”
David Aris
Author of Echoes of the Forgotten
“I don't have a publisher to handle the logistics, so having a dedicated producer was a lifesaver. They made sure everything met Audible's strict standards on the first try.”
Thomas E. Wright
Author of Everyday Leadership
“You can't fake the emotion of a personal story with AI. TBTaudio found a narrator who captured my exact cadence. Hearing my story read with such genuine empathy was incredible.”

FAQ
Answers before we hit record.
A clear, guided process for authors and publishers who want expert audio creation without managing the technical details.
Do I need a literary agent?
No. Authors controlling their audiobook rights can contact TBTaudio directly. If an agent, publisher, or authorized representative manages the rights, they should participate in submission/rights review.
Can my agent submit my title?
Yes, when authorized.
Do you accept every manuscript?
No. Every title is evaluated individually and TBTaudio may decline unsuitable projects.
Why might a manuscript be declined?
Possible factors: audiobook suitability, manuscript quality, rights availability, genre, production requirements, audience, commercial/project fit and production capacity. Not exhaustive.
Does submission guarantee acceptance?
No. Submission begins evaluation and does not guarantee acceptance, representation, acquisition, production or partnership.
What production options are available?
Full Production and, for selected projects, 50/50 Production Partnership.
How does Full Production work?
The author/rights holder funds the agreed production and TBTaudio coordinates the agreed services under the applicable agreement.
How does the 50/50 Production Partnership work?
For selected projects, TBTaudio may participate as a production partner. The author/rights holder and TBTaudio participate 50/50 in the defined audiobook royalty/revenue base specified in the written agreement.
Who owns my manuscript / How are rights handled?
The rights holder retains ownership unless otherwise agreed; submission alone does not transfer ownership. TBTaudio reviews audiobook rights before production, with the author, agent, publisher or authorized representative participating according to who controls them.
What are the timelines and distribution options?
Timelines vary by project. Distribution depends on the agreed arrangement, rights, territories and available platforms.
