AUDIBOOK PRODUCTION
Bringing Your Book to Life
Congratulations! You’ve written a book. Now let’s help readers hear it.
Many authors are surprised to learn how straightforward the audiobook process can be. Whether you’re publishing your first title or adding audio to an existing book, I’ll guide you through the process from manuscript to finished audiobook.
How It Works
1. Let’s Talk About Your Book
We’ll discuss your project, your goals, and the style of narration you’re looking for. Whether your book is fiction, nonfiction, memoir, business, or personal development, we’ll determine the best approach for your audience.
2. Review & Quote
Once I review your manuscript, I’ll provide an estimate based on the finished length of the audiobook. Audiobooks are typically priced by “Finished Hour” (the length of the completed audiobook listeners hear).
3. Recording & Production
I professionally narrate and produce your audiobook from my broadcast-quality studio, bringing your words to life with warmth, clarity, and engaging storytelling.
4. Author Review
One round of reasonable corrections is included with every project.
Corrections resulting from narrator errors are always included at no additional charge.
Changes resulting from manuscript revisions, newly added material, or extensive performance revisions requested after recording may incur additional fees.
5. Final Delivery
Your completed audiobook will be delivered ready for distribution on Audible, Amazon, Apple Books, and other audiobook platforms.
Typical Timeline
Most audiobook projects are completed within 2–4 weeks depending on manuscript length and scheduling.
Investment
Every audiobook is unique, and I offer flexible options depending on your project’s needs.
Narration Only
For publishers or authors who already have editing and mastering support in place:
$175–$250 Per Finished Hour
Narration + Editing + Mastering
For authors looking for a complete, ready-to-publish audiobook experience:
$225–$350 Per Finished Hour
This includes:
- Professional narration
- Editing
- Audio cleanup
- Mastering to audiobook specifications
- Final files ready for distribution
Not Sure Which Option Is Right?
No problem. Send me your manuscript and I’ll happily provide a complimentary estimate and help determine the best approach for your project and budget.
My goal is to make the audiobook process simple, enjoyable, and stress-free so you can focus on sharing your story with listeners.
Why Audiobooks?
Audiobooks allow readers to enjoy your work while commuting, exercising, traveling, or relaxing at home. They’re one of the fastest-growing segments of publishing and can introduce your book to an entirely new audience.
