Getting your audiobook in front of listeners
Once your audio is finished, we help you choose a distribution route, prepare the files, cover and metadata, and set up the listing in accounts that you own and control from the start.
Careful metadata is what lets the right listener find your audiobook among so many others.
The practical steps after recording
Uploading an audiobook involves more than the audio itself. Platforms ask for square cover art, chapter files in a set order, a retail sample, a description, categories, narrator credits and rights information. Details vary between services, and a single mismatch between the metadata and the audio can hold up a release while it is corrected.
We help you compare routes, such as ACX for Audible and Amazon, or wider distributors that reach libraries and other retailers, so you understand the trade-offs in reach and exclusivity before you decide. You create and own the accounts. We guide you through setup, prepare the materials and check the listing with you before it is submitted.
What you gain with audiobook publishing assistance
Once your audio is finished, we help you choose a distribution route, prepare the files, cover and metadata, and set up the listing in accounts that you own and control from the start.
A route that suits you
We set out the main options in plain terms, including exclusive and non-exclusive distribution, so you can choose based on your goals rather than guesswork.
Metadata done properly
Title, series, narrator, description, keywords and categories are prepared consistently with your print and eBook editions, so listings match and read professionally.
Files that pass checks
Before upload, we check file order, naming, cover dimensions and audio format against the platform's current requirements, reducing the chance of a rejection or delay.
Your accounts, your control
Everything is set up in accounts registered to you, so payments, reports and future changes stay in your hands, whether or not you keep working with us.
From first read to final file
You are kept informed at every stage, and nothing moves forward without your approval.

It only takes a minute.
No. We can help with audio produced elsewhere, as long as the files meet the technical requirements of the platform you choose. If they do not, we will tell you what needs fixing and whether remastering or re-editing is likely to be needed.
There is no single answer. Exclusive arrangements can offer different terms on some platforms, while wide distribution reaches more retailers and libraries. Terms change over time, so we look at the current options with you and help you weigh them against your plans for the book.
The accounts are yours and payments go directly to you from the platform. If you choose to share login details during setup, we use them only for the agreed tasks, and you can change your password as soon as the work is done.
Audible is one of the stores reachable through routes such as ACX, and some other distributors may also deliver to it. We help you prepare and submit the audiobook, but each platform reviews and approves titles itself, so timing and acceptance are decided by them.
It is usually a fixed fee per title, depending on how many platforms you use and whether cover adaptation or metadata writing is included. Platform charges or retailer commissions are separate and set by the platforms themselves, so we point you to their current terms.
