Question 1

Do I need to have a published book already?

Accepted Answer

No. You can come to us with a published book, a self-published book, a manuscript, an ebook, a guide or a course. We will help assess whether it is ready for audio and what needs to happen next.

Question 2

Can I narrate the audiobook myself?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Some authors are the best voice for their own book, especially for memoirs, business books, coaching content and personal brand content. We can help guide the recording and handle editing, mastering and file preparation.

Question 3

Can you provide a professional narrator?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can help you choose the right human narration approach based on your book, audience, tone and budget.

Question 4

Do you use AI narration?

Accepted Answer

This service is focused on human-led audiobook production. We do not position your book as a cheap AI-generated audiobook. The goal is to create something professional, natural and market-ready.

Question 5

Can you help me publish it to Spotify, Audible or Apple Books?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer publishing setup support as an add-on. This can include distribution pathway advice, metadata preparation, description writing, upload support and a launch checklist. Depending on the platform or distributor, you may need your own author or publisher account so royalties and ownership remain with you.

Question 6

Do you publish the audiobook for me?

Accepted Answer

We can help guide the publishing setup and prepare your audiobook for distribution. In most cases, the safest approach is for the author or rights holder to own the publishing or distributor account. We can help prepare the files, metadata and upload pathway.

Question 7

How much does audiobook production cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on word count, narration style, production complexity and whether you need publishing or launch support. A sample chapter starts from $990, and full audiobook production starts from $3,500.

Question 8

How long does it take?

Accepted Answer

Timing depends on the length of the book and the production pathway. A sample chapter can usually be produced faster, while a full audiobook requires time for planning, recording, editing, mastering and review.

Question 9

What platforms can my audiobook be prepared for?

Accepted Answer

We can prepare audiobook files and supporting assets for major audiobook and listening platforms, including Spotify, Audible, Apple Books and other distribution channels.

Question 10

Can you help with audiobook marketing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Audiobook Launch Kit can include landing page copy, launch email copy, social posts, teaser scripts, audiogram direction, quote cards and a simple 30-day launch plan.

Question 11

What if I only have an ebook, guide or course?

Accepted Answer

That can still work. We can review the content and recommend whether it should become a full audiobook, narrated guide, private audio product or course audio.

Question 12

Is this suitable for children's books?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Children's books can work well as audio when the narration is warm, clear and engaging. We can help assess the right narration style and production approach for the story.

Question 13

Can I start with just one chapter?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Sample Chapter Production package is designed for that. It gives you a low-risk way to hear how your book could sound before committing to full audiobook production.

Question 14

Can I buy an audiobook gift card for someone else?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Audiobook gift cards are designed for people who want to help an author, storyteller, parent, grandparent, coach or expert take the first step toward creating an audiobook or audio experience.

Question 15

Do gift cards include full audiobook production?

Accepted Answer

They can, but most people start with an Audio Readiness Review or Sample Chapter Production gift card. Custom gift cards can also contribute toward a larger audiobook production package.

Question 16

Can the recipient choose how to use the gift card?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can help the recipient decide whether the gift is best used for a readiness review, sample chapter, author-read recording support, publishing support or a larger audiobook production pathway.

Question 17

Do gift cards expire?

Accepted Answer

Gift card terms should be confirmed before purchase. If no payment system is live yet, we will confirm the terms manually when responding to the enquiry.
