Audiobook production questions
Useful answers before you begin.
Have a question about your manuscript, voice, or release plan?
Ask our teamWhat is included in professional audiobook production?
A project can include manuscript preparation, narration planning, recording support, audio editing, mastering, quality control, retail sample preparation, and organized files for distribution. The exact scope is confirmed before production begins.
Can I narrate my own audiobook?
Yes. Author narration can be a strong choice for memoir, business, self-help, poetry, and books in which the author’s personal delivery matters. We can help you plan the performance and improve the finished recording.
How long does audiobook production take?
Timing depends on the manuscript word count, narration style, number of voices, recording schedule, corrections, and review rounds. You receive a project schedule after the manuscript and production requirements are assessed.
Will the audio meet distribution platform requirements?
Final files are checked and mastered to the technical specifications agreed for the selected platform. Because platform requirements can change, the target distributor should be confirmed before final mastering.
Can you produce fiction and nonfiction audiobooks?
Yes. Production can be planned for fiction, memoir, biography, business, self-help, poetry, children’s books, educational titles, and other genres.
