Audiobook Production

Manuscript to distributed audiobook, narration and mastering included.

Where this fits

This supports a book that's already written or being written elsewhere — it isn't a full publishing package on its own. Pair it with Book Publishing if you also need ISBN, retail listings, and distribution set up.

Ownership & confidentiality

  • You keep 100% of copyright and royalties on everything delivered.
  • An NDA is signed before any of your material is shared, including on the intro call.

Ask about audiobook production

Make every part of the book tell the same story.

Good audiobook production starts with the decisions behind the deliverable. Here is what to consider, what to prepare, and how to make your reviews more useful.

The details make
the difference.
01

Start with a creative brief

Describe the intended reader, genre, tone, and formats. Include references and explain what you like about them: the energy, the restraint, the typography, or the treatment of imagery. A clear brief gives creative decisions a meaningful direction.

02

Review in context

Look at the work as a reader will encounter it. Review a cover as a small thumbnail as well as at full size. Check an interior as a sequence of pages. For audio or video, consider pacing and how the experience feels from beginning to end.

03

Prepare the final handover

Confirm the required file formats, dimensions, and platform specifications before production. Keep the approved version separate from working drafts. Ask which source files and usage permissions form part of the agreed deliverables.

Come with an ambition.
Leave with a clearer direction.

Bring your current material, intended audience, a few useful references, and any deadline that matters. We can then discuss the work below and confirm what belongs in your individual scope.

How this gets scoped

The same four steps behind every standalone service on this page — the specifics change, the shape doesn't.

Step 01

Brief

A short intake before anything is quoted — audience, angle, length, deadline. In writing, so nothing depends on what someone remembers from a call.

Step 02

Scope & quote

A real number for your specific project, not a rate card guess. You approve the scope before any drafting starts.

Step 03

The work itself

Drafted, designed, or sent against that agreed brief — delivered in workable pieces where the format allows, not one drop at the end.

Step 04

Revision & delivery

A structured revision round, then delivery in the format you'll actually use — not a Google Doc you have to reformat yourself.
