Author's Republic Audiobooks Now Available to Spotify Premium Subscribers

December 8, 2023

Spotify recently announced exciting news for authors and audiobook enthusiasts alike! As a benefit to their premium subscribers, in addition to offering music and podcasts, Spotify is now offering 15 hours of audiobook listening per month. This benefit is currently available to premium subscribers in the US, United Kingdom, and Australia. Titles distributed via Author’s Republic are accessible to these subscribers, giving you even more opportunities to reach new listeners and earn more! You will receive payments for Spotify subscriber use of your audiobook. To learn more, read Spotify’s announcement here.

By integrating audiobooks into its premium subscription, Spotify is positioning itself as the go-to destination for all things audio, from music to podcasts and now audiobooks. This expansion offers significant potential for indie authors to tap into a vast and engaged audience.

Since 2019, Author’s Republic has been a trusted partner in delivering your audiobooks to Spotify. Distribution started in a streaming capacity. Originally—to increase profitability on music streaming services—we would take your 10-track audiobook and seamlessly segment it into hundreds of tracks. This maintained a perfect flow between tracks to ensure a great listening experience.

In 2022, Spotify announced it was launching a la carte audiobooks in the US, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. The a la carte model requires audiobooks be purchased individually, with or without a premium subscription. Author’s Republic was again at the forefront, ensuring our titles were available to Spotify subscribers upon launch.
