Audiobooks at B&N

From Printed Page to Perfect Listening

An audiobook isn’t just someone reading your book out loud. The wrong narrator can flatten a story you spent years building. Poor audio quality gets rejected by Audible before a single listener hears it. Doing this properly means finding a voice that fits your story, directing the performance chapter by chapter, and engineering audio to strict retail standards. Most audiobook production companies stop at the recording. We’re a publishing house — so we care about the performance too. Been thinking ‘I want to turn my book into an audiobook but I’ve got no clue where to start’? This page is where that changes.

  • Retail-Standard Audio – Engineered to pass Audible, ACX, and Apple Books checks the first time
  • Your Rights, Your Royalties – Full ownership, every platform, always

Audiobooks, Explained Simply

Audiobooks are priced per finished hour, and a typical novel runs eight to twelve. Your quote depends on book length and narrator choice, it's fixed upfront, and it covers recording, editing, mastering, and corrections. All of it.

Six to ten weeks for most, from narrator selection to final files. If you've researched how to make an audiobook solo, you know DIY usually eats several months — ours is faster because casting, studio, and engineering run in parallel.
Absolutely — and you should. We send audition samples of narrators reading your actual chapters, and nothing moves until you've picked the voice you love.
Yes. For memoirs especially, an author's own voice can be powerful. We'll coach your performance, handle all recording and engineering — and we'll be honest with you about whether self-narration actually suits your book.
Everywhere that counts. Audible, Amazon, Apple Books, Spotify, Google Play, library platforms. We handle submission and metadata for each. You keep the rights and royalties on all of them.
Yes — and it's actually the ideal timing. Plenty of authors produce the audiobook alongside print and e-book for one big launch across every format. Since publishing happens under our roof too, the schedules line up neatly.
