Got a book that deserves an audiobook, but not the weeks it takes to produce one? That's the part I handle.
I run everything it takes to turn your book into a finished, retail-ready audiobook. You keep creative control. I keep the parts moving.
For authors who'd rather be writing the next one. If your books sell and audio is the gap you've never had time to close, let me take care of the process for you: auditioning narrators, negotiating rates, chasing retakes, proofing against the manuscript, meeting platform specs. I've worked on many audiobooks, including series by the thriller author Jack Slater.
I work exclusively through ACX, Audible's audiobook platform. It's a simple platform to use, and you have the choice between making your audiobook exclusive to Audible, or available on other audio platforms such as Spotify.
I run the auditions, reaching out to narrators in your genre and budget, briefing them, and reviewing what comes back. You get a shortlist of the strongest candidates to choose from. The final call on the voice is always yours.
Setting up the deal with your chosen narrator on ACX, pay-per-finished-hour or a royalty-share split, whichever suits your budget. Unlike audiobook production companies, I don't add a mark-up to the narrator's fee.
Scheduling the recording, managing the back-and-forth, and handling pickups and retakes so they never land on your desk.
Proof-listening against your manuscript line by line, catching misreads, pacing slips, and consistency issues before they reach a listener.
Ensuring your audiobook is mastered to ACX's technical specs and running the final checks, so it passes review and goes live on Audible without a hitch.
My fee is simple: $0.0075 per word. That covers every step above. You pay your narrator directly, with no production-house margin stacked on top.
*Your narrator is paid directly by you.
I run the auditions and hand you a shortlist of the best fits, but the final call on the voice of your book is always yours, not a roster you're nudged toward.
A full-service house bakes its own margin into the narrator's rate, invisibly. With me, what your narrator charges is what your narrator gets.
My fee is calculated by the length of your book, not per finished hour of audio (which climbs fastest on the long books that already cost the most!)
This service comes out of a working self-publishing operation — 15+ titles and thousands of Audible reviews. Leave your audiobook in a safe pair of hands.
