FAQS

Your book already has a voice. Our audiobook team helps listeners hear it. From choosing the narrator to final mastering and delivery, we guide you through every step so your story sounds as good as it reads.

Q1. What types of books do you turn into audiobooks?

We produce audiobooks for fiction, memoir, fantasy, children’s stories, non-fiction, business and self-help, education and poetry. If your book is unusual, tell us about it and we will suggest the best approach.

Q2. Can I narrate my own book?

Yes. Many authors, especially memoir and self-help writers, narrate their own books. A director guides you in the studio, and our editors clean up and master the recording. If you prefer, we will cast a professional narrator for you.

Q3. How do I choose a narrator?

Tell us your genre, tone and the kind of voice you imagine. We share audition samples read from a page of your book, and you pick the voice you like best.

Q4. How long does audiobook production take?

It depends on the length of your book and the narrator’s schedule. A typical book of about 60,000 words runs around 6.5 hours when finished. We give you a clear timeline after casting.

Q5. Do I approve the recording before it is released?

Yes. You review each chapter and can request corrections to pronunciation, pacing or mistakes. Nothing goes to stores until you approve it.
