Audiobooks can add 20 to 40% more revenue from the same manuscript, but many authors still have not made their book available in audio.

The audiobook market grew 25% last year. Audible alone has over 1,000,000 titles, but with 500M+ Audible members looking for new listening, a well-produced audiobook in the right genre earns significant passive royalties from day one.

What Every Audiobook Production Project Includes, From Manuscript to Published Audio

From narrator matching to distribution-ready masters, every step of professional audiobook production is handled for you.

Narrator Matching & Audition

Your manuscript is reviewed for genre, tone, POV, pacing, and character voices. Three narrator candidates are selected, and a 5-minute sample audition is produced so you can approve the voice before production begins.

Professional Studio Recording

Your full manuscript is recorded in a professional-grade studio or approved home studio that meets ACX noise floor and frequency requirements, with clean audio quality and no distracting room tone.

Audio Editing & Mastering

Every chapter is edited and mastered, including breath cleanup, noise reduction, pickup splicing, and final mastering to ACX standards for loudness, peak levels, and noise floor.

Independent QC Review

A separate QC listener reviews the audio against the manuscript word for word, checking pronunciation, missed words, level changes, pacing issues, and background noise before final delivery.

Author Review & Approvals

The full file package is delivered for your review before distribution. You mark final corrections, approved rerecords are completed within scope, and nothing is uploaded until you sign off.

ACX Upload & Audible Distribution

Completed files are uploaded to ACX and prepared for Audible distribution. We can use a non-exclusive setup, so you retain the right to distribute on other platforms at the same time.

Audiobook Cover Design

A square audiobook cover is designed to ACX and Findaway specifications, optimized for the thumbnail format used across Audible, Apple Books, Spotify, and other listening apps.

Rights & royalty ownership

You retain 100% of audiobook rights. No ACX royalty-share deal required, per-finished-hour payment option available so you keep every dollar of royalties from every platform.

Distribution-Ready Master Files

Final MP3 chapter files, a combined MP3, and WAV masters are delivered for your archive, ready for ACX, Findaway Voices, Authors Republic, and future distribution platforms.

Trusted by Business Leaders, Entrepreneurs, and Executives

From first-time authors to seasoned CEOs, our clients turn their books into tools for authority, client growth, and lasting impact.

I've been running my consulting firm for 14 years and always knew a book would elevate my positioning. Kindle Publishing Experts made it real. The ghostwriter they matched me with understood my industry from day one. The final manuscript reads exactly like me, sharp, direct, and full of the frameworks I use with clients. Closed two six-figure engagements before the official launch.

I came in with a half-finished manuscript and no clear direction. The developmental editing process was transformative and they helped me restructure the entire argument without losing my voice. The book is now the anchor of my thought leadership strategy and has been picked up by three business podcasts. Worth every dollar.

Kindle Publishing Experts handled my business memoir from outline to Amazon launch. The project manager kept everything on schedule and the ghostwriter captured 20 years of entrepreneurial lessons in a way that is genuinely engaging. It's already ranking in two categories on KDP and my speaking inquiries have tripled since launch.

As a business coach, credibility is everything. Publishing my book with Kindle Publishing Experts gave me a tangible asset I can put in front of every prospective client. The team handled the cover, interior layout, ISBN, and KDP submission flawlessly. I didn't have to touch a single technical detail. Professional from start to finish.

My executive team had been suggesting I write a strategy book for years. Kindle Publishing Experts turned that idea into a polished, published reality in under five months. The ghostwriter conducted thorough interviews, the editor tightened every chapter, and the cover design looked better than books I've seen from major publishers.

I used Kindle Publishing Experts's book marketing and Amazon Ads service post-launch. The team built a proper campaign strategy, ran the ads, and optimised the metadata. Within six weeks we hit bestseller status in two categories. The visibility it created for my startup brand was unlike anything I'd achieved through traditional PR.
