It’s never been easier to create and sell audiobooks. The interconnected nature of the world has made it increasingly more simple for self-published authors to create and sell audiobooks worldwide. As an author you can connect virtually with a narrator who will produce your audiobook from start to finish.

Reach new readers

Some readers prefer to hold a physical book in their hands, while others need their hands free to enjoy a good book while commuting or walking the dog.

Hearing your work in audio is a whole new experience

Listening to the words that you painstakingly wrote in crystal clear audio performed by a professional narrator, creates a feeling like no other. It’s like that feeling of unboxing your very first printed book and seeing it in the physical realm.

Create an additional revenue stream

Audiobooks can provide an additional revenue stream for authors. The upfront cost of producing an audiobook can vary widely, and typically you’ll find an option within their budget that will give you a good return on investment.
