About this service
What our audiobook production service involves
Audiobooks open your book to commuters, runners, drivers and people who simply prefer listening. Producing one takes more than reading aloud. A narrator has to hold a consistent voice over hours, the recording has to be clean, and each file must pass the technical checks of the platform.
Our team helps you choose a narrator, prepares the script, manages recording and handles editing, proofing and mastering. You approve audio samples before the full recording, and you receive finished files with the correct format, loudness and chapter structure for the platforms you plan to use.
Why authors ask for this
Narration, recording and production for major audiobook platforms.
Every project starts with a free conversation and a written quote, so you know the scope, the timeline and the price before any work begins.
Amazon Publication is an independent company. You keep your rights, your accounts and your royalties.

What to expect when you work with us
When you request audiobook production from Amazon Publication, you speak to a real person first. A publishing consultant listens to what you want for your book, looks at what you already have and tells you honestly whether this service is the right next step. If it is not, we say so.
You then receive a written quote that lists the scope, the number of revision rounds and an estimated timeline. Once you approve it, a project manager becomes your single point of contact. Your feedback goes to the right specialist, progress updates arrive in plain language and nothing is added to the bill without your agreement.
Throughout the project you keep ownership of your work, and any retailer or platform account stays in your name. We never promise bestseller rankings, guaranteed sales or fake reviews, because honest work is the only kind that lasts.

FAQ
Questions about audiobook production
Can I narrate my own audiobook?
Yes. We can provide direction, a recording plan and the editing, or arrange a studio session for you.
How long does audiobook production take?
It depends on length and narrator availability. Your quote will include a timeline.
Do I need a finished and proofread book first?
Yes. Changing text after recording is costly, so the manuscript should be final.
Which platforms accept the files?
Major audiobook stores accept files that meet their technical specifications. We prepare yours to those standards.
Do I keep my audio rights?
Yes. You retain the rights to your audiobook, and licence terms for the narrator are explained in advance.
