"We’ve helped authors and publishers, including self-publishers create more than 100 audiobooks. From preparation to publishing, we can provide all the services needed to see your audiobook published."


A FRIENDLY APPROACH
We're a two person team, Mark (that's me) is a producer and an editor, Elaine is a narrator and tutor. Between us we've produced more than 100 audiobooks for both mainstream and independent publishers including self-publishers. We've also run workshops on audiobook production and narration. In addition, Mark is a writer and Elaine is an actor (You might have seen her on the TV or heard her on BBC Radio!).


AUDIOBOOKS - AN ESSENTIAL PART OF PUBLISHING
It's become apparent that many small publishers and self-published authors are missing out on the growth in audiobooks. An audiobook is now an essential part of reaching more readers. Year on year audiobook sales are growing more than any other sector of publishing. It's not difficult and it doesn't have to be expensive to publish your audiobook. Let us help.


AUTHOR'S HELP
Whether you’re an established author or you’re working on your first book, if you need a hand with part or all of the process, we can help. Many authors don’t know how to go about getting their books recorded, and this is where we come in.


PUBLISHER'S HELP
Like many established authors, you may be considering going down the self-publishing route. Even the larger publishers rarely give fat advance cheques these days. Self-publishing your print book and audiobook is the easiest and most cost effective way to get your book out to your readers. Drop us an email or give us a call, we'll happily talk about your ideas.

FAQs

Q. Can you help me turn my book into an audiobook?

A. Yes. It's a straight forward process and one that we are more than happy to take you through. How much involvement is entirely up to you. It all depends on what you want.


Q. How long does it take to produce an audiobook?

A. If you've already written and published your book, the turn-around time can be as little as three weeks, depending on how much additional work is required. Call us for an informal chat, there's no commitment.


Q. I've written my book already, but don't know what to do to publish it. Can you help?

A. Of course. We'd be delighted to let you know what options are open to you. Once you've chosen to publish we can take you through the whole process or do it on your behalf. It's entirely up to you.


Q. I'd like to publish my audiobook. Can you help?

A. Yes we can. Call us to discuss your needs. It doesn't matter if you've never done anything like it before. Everyone starts somewhere.


Q. I'm not sure if I can narrate my own book. Can you give me some guidance?

A. Yes. Many self-published and established authors are a little nervous about recording their own books. Elaine is a professional narration tutor, an established actor and narrator in her own right, who is able to take you through the process and advise you about how best to narrate your book.



SERVICES

A list of what we can offer
  • NARRATION

    Book narration is not as simple as picking up a book and reading it aloud. It's one good reason some authors feel discouraged from producing an audiobook.

    Reading for several hours and then having to make corrections can seem somewhat off-putting.

    It's not as difficult as many believe, and with a bit of help from Elaine, most authors or small publishers can narrate an audiobook suitable for publication.

  • RECORDING

    The choices of how to record an audio version of your book boil down to you deciding how much time and what budget you have to spend on your project. You can use a professional studio or go down the DIY route, which is by far the least expensive option.

    We've recorded audiobooks in professional studios and at home. All the books we've produced have met the necessary criteria to be distributed by the likes of Audible.

  • EDITING

    Once you've recorded your book, it will need editing. Even the most gifted narrator will make mistakes. Mark can manage the editing process in order to remove any mistakes, including repetitions, fluffs and the inevitable glitches or external sounds. 

    The audiobook will flow properly thanks to this process, and your audiobook will be an enjoyable listen for those who prefer to listen to audio than read the printed page.

  • PUBLISHING

    We've worked with numerous publishers, both mainstream and independent. Thanks to this experience, we know the most suitable places to upload your book for sale and distribution.

    We will, of course, take into account your wishes, and advise you on any costs and the time you'll need to deal with this part of your project. Again, this is a straightforward process that, with a little guidance from ourselves, is easy to negotiate.
