How Are Audiobooks Made?
Quick Answer
An audiobook is made by casting a narrator, recording the book in a professional studio, editing and mastering the audio to retail specifications, and distributing it to Audible, Apple Books, and Spotify. Spines Publishing UK manages the full production, you approve the narrator and a sample chapter, and you keep 100% of your audio rights and royalties.
Audio is the fastest-growing format in publishing, and listeners hold it to a high standard, uneven volume, background noise, or a flat narration will sink an audiobook regardless of how good the writing is.
We cast the right narrator for your book, record and master to retail spec, and distribute across the major platforms, while you keep full ownership of your audio rights.
