Audiobook Services and Publishing You Can Trust
A good audiobook takes more than a microphone and a quiet room. The narrator has to understand your characters or your argument, the pacing has to feel natural and the sound has to be clean enough that listeners forget they’re hearing a recording. Small slips – a mispronounced name, a background hum, uneven volume – are exactly what pull people out of the experience and into a bad review. That’s why we treat every audiobook as a full production, with clear checkpoints and your approval at each one.
AMZ United Press handles the whole job from prepared script to finished files, and our wider team can fill any gaps along the way. If your manuscript still needs polishing, our editors can tidy it before recording starts. You keep 100% of your rights and royalties, and you get a written quote before any work begins. We’ll also be honest about timing and costs, so there are no surprises between the first sample and the day your audiobook goes live.

What we cover
We Turn eBooks into Audiobooks in Every Genre
Different books need different voices. Here are some of the genres we produce most often, each with its own approach to narration, pacing and sound.
- 01
Fiction Audiobooks
We give each main character a distinct, consistent voice and keep the narration moving at the speed of your plot. Whether your story is a quiet literary drama or a sprawling saga, listeners should always know who is speaking.
- 02
Self-Help Audiobooks
Self-help works best when it sounds like a trusted friend talking. We choose warm, clear narrators who deliver your advice with sincerity and leave space for key ideas to sink in before moving on.
- 03
Memoir and Autobiography Audiobooks
Life stories call for a gentle, honest delivery. We can cast a narrator who suits your voice and era, or coach you to record it yourself, so your experiences come across with the feeling they deserve.
- 04
English Learning Audiobooks
Learners need careful pronunciation, steady pacing and clear pauses. We record language lessons and graded readers in a way that helps listeners at every level follow along, repeat phrases and build confidence.
- 05
Thriller and Audio Drama
Suspense lives in timing. For mysteries, crime and action stories we can add subtle music, sound effects or a multi-voice cast, keeping tension high without drowning out the words that drive the plot.
- 06
Educational Audiobooks
From history to science and business, we help dense subject matter feel approachable. Narrators who understand the material read it with confidence, and we handle tricky terms, lists and references so listeners can keep up.
Reach new listeners and grow your sales with an affordable, professional audiobook.

How it works
Our Audiobook Production Process
Every audiobook follows the same clear path, with your approval at each stage. Here’s how your book travels from manuscript to finished audio.
- 01
Initial Consultation
We talk about your book, your listeners and the feel you want. We also cover length, budget and timeline, so you leave the call knowing exactly what the project involves and what happens next.
- 02
Script Preparation
We turn your manuscript into a recording script. That means flagging tricky names and terms, adjusting visual elements such as tables or charts for listening, and building a pronunciation guide for the narrator.
- 03
Narrator Selection
We send you short samples from narrators who suit your genre and audience. You choose the voice you like best, or decide to narrate it yourself with our coaching and studio support.
- 04
Professional Recording
Your narrator records in a treated studio space with quality equipment. We monitor sessions closely and re-record any lines that sound rushed, flat or unclear before moving on to the next chapter.
- 05
Editing and Mastering
Our sound engineers remove breaths, clicks and background noise, balance volume across chapters and master the files to meet the technical standards that audiobook retailers require. You can listen to sample chapters as they’re finished.
- 06
Proof-Listening
A separate listener follows along with the script, checking for missed words, mispronunciations and audio glitches. Every issue is fixed, and you get to review the full recording before anything is published.
- 07
Formatting and Publishing
We prepare chapter files, opening and closing credits, retail samples and a square audiobook cover. Then we guide you through uploading to the major audiobook platforms under your own account.
- 08
Audiobook Marketing
A new format deserves its own launch. We can share clips on social media, write announcement posts and plan promotions that help listeners discover your audiobook. Ask about our full book marketing services for more.
Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Straight answers about our audiobook services. Can’t see your question? Ask us directly.
Ready to hear your book come to life?
How do you make an audiobook?
First the manuscript is prepared as a recording script. A narrator then records it in a quiet, treated space, and an engineer edits out mistakes and noise. The audio is mastered to retailer standards, checked by a proof-listener and uploaded with a cover and sample. Our audiobook services handle each of these steps for you.
Are audiobooks profitable?
They can be. Audio opens your book to people who rarely read in print, and listening keeps growing in popularity. Whether your audiobook earns back its cost depends on your genre, your existing readership and how well it’s promoted. We’ll give you an honest view of what’s realistic before you commit.
Should I narrate my own book or hire a professional?
Narrating your own book can work well for memoirs and some nonfiction, where your voice adds real meaning. It takes stamina, though, and a clear, steady delivery. A professional narrator is usually the better choice for fiction and longer books. We’ll help you decide, and we can coach and record you if you’d like to try.
How do you market an audiobook?
Share short audio clips on social media, announce the release to your email list and add the audiobook to your author website. Promotional codes, podcast interviews and targeted ads can also help. We can plan and run this for you through our book marketing team.
Should I release an audiobook alongside my print and ebook versions?
If your budget allows, yes. Launching all formats together lets you promote them in one push, and readers can pick the version they prefer. If that’s not possible, adding an audiobook later is still a great way to give an existing book a fresh wave of attention.
What is the average cost to produce an audiobook?
Cost mostly depends on your book’s length, the narrator you choose and how much editing or sound design is needed. Our audiobook services start from $900, and you’ll get a written quote before any work begins. You can see typical ranges on our pricing page.
How long is a 200-page audiobook?
As a rough guide, a 200-page book usually runs about six to eight hours of finished audio, but it depends on word count, page layout and the narrator’s pace. Dialogue-heavy fiction often moves faster than dense nonfiction. We’ll estimate the finished length once we see your manuscript.
Who owns the audiobook once it’s finished?
You do. Once the project is paid for, you own the recording and keep 100% of your rights and royalties. We publish under your account, never ours, so you stay in full control of pricing, distribution and any future changes you want to make.
