Your manuscript, a cast of voices, music, studio mastering, and a presentation kit in three options. This is what a plan buys, from $29 a month.
A converter reads your file out loud. We produce your book, tailored to your story, in four steps. And nothing is recorded in full until you have heard it and said yes.

You get: a clean, chaptered script, ready to be performed.
Pick your narrator. From the Creator plan, each character keeps a distinct voice. We record a sample from your own pages, and you listen before anything else happens. Same for the cover, the title and the store description: three options each, you pick.
You get: a sample of your book, and the final say.
Acted narration with pauses and emotion, mood music matched to your genre, levels mastered chapter by chapter to retail spec. One chapter to redo? We redo that chapter, not the book.
You get: a studio-grade recording, not a robot reading.

You get: a real audiobook to sell, and your rights stay yours.
