Audiobook Production for Self-Published Authors
I can turn your finished book into an audiobook that is ready to publish. You will work directly with me throughout the project.
How long will your audiobook be? As a rough guide, 9,000 words make about one hour of finished audio.
Your production can also include help with the cover, an audiobook trailer, and a short video clip or photo with me for social media.
Why work with me?
- 🎧 I have narrated more than 140 audiobooks, some under a genre pen name.
- ⭐ 4+ stars reviews
- 🎙️ I record in my own professional studio.
- 📚 I work across genres, from thrillers and fantasy to children’s books.
- 👥 I have an active community of listeners.
What you will receive
I take care of recording, editing, review by test listeners, mixing, and mastering. You receive finished audio files ready for publication.
Self-published authors can publish audiobooks independently. If you want help with that step, I can guide you through it.
Help with publishing your audiobook
I can also help you publish your audiobook through Feiyr.com. You will have access to your sales reports and royalty payments through your own account. We can discuss the publishing options and costs before you decide.
You can also upload the audiobook yourself. I’ll be happy to guide you until it is available for sale.
What I need from you
- Your final, professionally edited manuscript, preferably as a Word file (.docx) or as a PDF.
- A short list of characters, if you have one, with notes on how you imagine them.
- Pronunciation guidance for names and unusual words.
After you place your order, you can request a free sample of about five minutes. You can then give me any final direction before I produce the full audiobook.
Pricing and rights
Option 1: Full ownership. I narrate and produce your book. You receive the audio rights covered by our agreement and keep all revenue paid to the rights holder. The price is based on each finished hour of audio, calculated to the minute.
Option 2: Upfront fee plus revenue share. This option is available only for some projects. You pay a smaller upfront fee toward production costs. After publication, we share the revenue—for example, 80% to you and 20% to me. We will agree on the exact terms before production begins. This option is not available through ACX.
For a quote, send me your manuscript or its word count. We can discuss the project with no obligation.
If you use ACX, I can prepare and upload the finished audio files as your producer. You manage your ACX account, publishing choices, and royalty payments.
Working with a publisher?
If a publisher is producing your audiobook, ask whether they already work with me or can hire me for your project. Pricing will be arranged through the publisher. You are welcome to contact me about this as well.
