Introduction
Choose the Voice Your Audiobook Deserves
The right narrator is the difference between a book people finish and one they abandon at chapter three. We offer two paths, both with full production support behind them.
Professional Narrator
We match you with a voice actor for your audiobook whose tone and delivery actually fit your genre; a thriller doesn't want the same voice as a devotional. For fiction with multiple characters, we can also bring in duet or multi-narrator casting when the book calls for it.
Author-Narrated
Want to narrate it yourself? We support that fully, coaching, technical setup guidance, and full professional post-production so your recordings meet ACX and platform quality standards, not just "good enough for a podcast."
How It Works
Why It Matters
Why Audiobooks Matter Now
Your Book's Audience Is Bigger Than You Think: They're Just Listening
Audiobook listening has grown dramatically over the past several years, and it isn't slowing down. People who'd never sit down with a physical book are getting through titles on commutes, at the gym, walking the dog, or winding down at night, and a lot of them are discovering authors they'd otherwise never have found.
An audiobook doesn't replace your print or ebook. It opens your book to a completely different audience. For authors building something long-term, being available in every format isn't a nice-to-have anymore; it's close to table stakes.
As an audiobook narration and production company, we manage the entire process: preparing your manuscript for narration, casting the right voice, recording and mastering to studio quality, and distributing to every platform your listeners actually use, so you're not trying to untangle ACX's technical requirements on your own at 11 pm.
Audiobook Editing & Post-Production
A lot of authors, especially author-narrators, get the recording done and then hit a wall with everything after. That's the part we specialize in.
Audio editing & cleanup
Removing mouth noise, breath sounds, room echo, and inconsistent levels between takes, and matching audio across sessions recorded days or weeks apart so it doesn't sound stitched together.
Mixing & mastering to ACX spec
RMS loudness, peak levels, noise floor, the exact technical requirements ACX checks on submission, handled so your file passes the first time instead of bouncing back with a rejection you have to decode.
Sound design, where it fits
Light scoring or sound design for children's titles, fiction with scene transitions, or anything that benefits from more than a flat narration track.
File formatting & metadata
Chapter files named and split correctly, ID3 metadata filled in properly, cover art sized to spec, the unglamorous stuff that still gets a file rejected if it's wrong.
If you've already recorded your own audiobook and just need someone to fix the noise, hit ACX's mastering requirements, or get the metadata and chapter files in order, that's a standalone service, you don't need to redo the whole production to get it fixed properly.

This part matters more than most companies let on. Your manuscript is prepped by people who've formatted audiobook scripts for ACX submission before, not run through a generic script. Narrators are cast from an actual audition pool matched to genre and tone, not assigned at random. Mastering is done by audio engineers working to ACX's technical specification (RMS levels, noise floor, file format), because a file that gets rejected on first submission costs you weeks, not days. Every chapter gets a quality-control listen before anything goes to a platform, not a spot-check of the whole thing.
If a narrator, engineer, or producer has specific credentials, prior audiobook credits, or ACX certification worth naming here, that's the kind of concrete detail worth adding. Genuinely verifiable specifics are what actually build trust with readers and with Google, more than a general claim of "professional quality" ever will.
Where Your Audiobook Will Live
Audible (ACX) · Apple Books · Spotify · Google Play Books · Storytel · OverDrive · Kobo Audiobooks · Scribd · and 20+ platforms total.
We submit simultaneously across all of them, and if you'd rather skip ACX exclusivity and keep your audiobook wide from day one, we can build the distribution plan around that instead. That's a real decision authors have to make, and it's one we will actually walk through with you rather than defaulting you into an exclusivity deal because it's easier for us.

Every Genre, Every Voice
Every genre needs the right voice. We match your book with a genre-experienced narrator who understands its tone, whether that means tension for a thriller, warmth for a children’s book, authenticity for a memoir, credibility for nonfiction, or sensitivity for spiritual and faith-based titles.

Audiobook Publishing & Distribution
Reach every listener
Getting a finished audio file onto Audible is one thing. Getting it onto Audible and Apple Books and Spotify and everywhere else, correctly formatted for each, is a different job, and it's the part most self-published authors underestimate.
We handle submission to Audible and ACX, plus Spotify, Apple Books, and the rest of the 20+ platform list, whether you want ACX exclusivity or a wide, non-exclusive release. For nonfiction and business authors, we also make sure metadata and categories are built around how nonfiction listeners actually search, which is different from how fiction listeners browse.

We charge a flat-rate production fee. No commission, no royalty share, no percentage carved out of what Audible, Apple Books, or Spotify pay you. Every cent your audiobook earns goes to you.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Cost depends on manuscript word count, the narrator selected, and how much production work is involved. We quote flat-rate, with no hidden fees and no royalty commission taken out of what you earn afterward.
I had no idea how technical the ACX process was until I tried doing it myself and hit a wall. They took it over completely, matched me with a narrator whose voice was perfect for my thriller, managed the whole recording, and delivered an approved audiobook in six weeks. My Audible sales surprised me from month one.
