The Missed Opportunity

Are You Reaching Readers Who Prefer to Listen?

Not every reader consumes books the same way. Millions of people now prefer audiobooks because they can listen while commuting, exercising, and multitasking. If your book is print or eBook only, you're missing them:

  • 👂Millions of potential readers who consume exclusively through audio are never reaching your book
  • 📉A significant royalty stream from Audible, Apple Books, and Spotify sitting completely untapped
  • 🔧ACX technical requirements are complex — incorrect audio specs mean instant rejection
  • 🎙️Finding and directing a narrator who truly fits your genre and tone is harder than it sounds
  • Poor audio quality or robotic AI narration earns one-star reviews that damage your entire catalog

Great audiobook production isn't just about reading words on a page. It's about performance, pacing, and pristine audio quality. We handle every complex technical requirement so you can sit back and listen to your story come to life.

  • ACX-compliant mastered audio — approved on first submission, every time

The Process

How Our Audiobook Production Process Works

1
Casting

Casting & the 15-Minute Audition

We send your manuscript to our narrator network. You receive 3–5 custom 15-minute audio auditions. You pick the voice that's perfect for your book.

2
Approval

The 15-Minute Check

The narrator records the first 15 minutes. You listen to verify pacing, tone, and pronunciation are exactly right before full production begins — zero risk.

3
Production

Full Production & Editing

The narrator records the full manuscript. Our audio engineers edit the raw files, remove mistakes, balance volume, and master everything to ACX standards.

4
Distribution

QC, Mastering & Distribution

We perform a final Quality Control listen. Once approved, we deliver final files and handle upload and metadata setup for Audible, Apple, and all other retailers.

Standard Production: 4–6 Weeks · Rush Production: 2–3 Weeks Available
You approve every milestone before we proceed — casting, 15-minute check, and final QC — full control at every step.

What Authors Say About Our Audiobook Production

★★★★★

I tried to produce my first audiobook myself and spent three months getting rejected by ACX for technical issues I couldn't diagnose. Uprisen produced my second book in five weeks, approved first submission, and the narrator they cast is absolutely perfect for the genre.

★★★★★

The 15-minute audition process is genius. I listened to four different narrator voices before choosing — I never would have found the right one on my own. My audiobook now outsells my eBook on Audible every single month without any extra marketing.

P
Priya S.
Romance Author · Audible Bestseller
★★★★★

Uprisen distributed my audiobook wide through Findaway — not just Audible. Now I earn royalties from Spotify, Kobo, and public library lending programs I didn't even know existed. That distribution decision alone doubled my total audio income within three months.

FAQ

Audiobook Production Questions Answered

PFH is the industry standard for audiobook pricing. It means you pay a set rate for every finished hour of audio. A 10-hour audiobook might require 30 hours of studio and editing time, but you only pay for the 10 finished hours that listeners hear. It's the fairest and most transparent pricing model in the industry.
While AI narration is inexpensive, Audible and Apple Books currently restrict or penalize AI-generated audio. More importantly, listeners immediately notice robotic voices and leave one-star reviews that damage your entire catalog. We strongly recommend professional human narration for both quality and platform compliance.
Standard production takes 4 to 6 weeks from narrator casting to final mastered files — including the audition process, 15-minute approval check, full recording, editing, mastering, and QC. Rush production (2–3 weeks) is available for an additional fee for time-sensitive book launches.
ACX is Amazon's platform, which distributes exclusively to Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. Findaway Voices distributes "wide" to 40+ platforms including Spotify, Kobo, Scribd, and public library lending systems. We help you choose the best distribution strategy based on your genre, audience, and royalty goals.
Yes — with our PFH (Pay for Production) packages, you retain 100% of your rights and royalties forever. There are no ongoing revenue splits or licensing agreements. If you choose a Royalty Share arrangement with a narrator instead, the narrator typically retains 50% of royalties for 7 years through ACX.
