Included

Your Audiobook, Produced & Distributed

Audiobooks are one of the fastest growing areas of publishing. Your audiobook gives your audience another dynamic way to interact with your content, connecting you with busy professionals, commuters, and multitaskers who prefer to consume content on the go.

Narrator Matching

Tell us who your narrator is—the voice you hear when you imagine your book being read to millions of people. We're networked with thousands of narrators and we'll find one that fits your voice and has experience in your industry. If you choose to narrate yourself, we'll personally prepare you for the process, ensuring you give the best performance possible for your book.

Recording & Post-Production

A director sits in throughout the reading to make sure narration is hitting its marks, pronunciation is accurate, and the pacing is good. Each audiobook goes through a detailed post-production process handled by 2 engineers: an editor & mastering engineer, and a quality control & spot check engineer.

Distribution on 50+ Platforms

Your audiobook is distributed on over 50 platforms including Audible, Amazon, Apple Books, Apple Music, and Spotify. Sales from all platforms are tracked in one easy-to-use dashboard. You maintain full ownership and keep royalties from all audiobook sales.

Over 45% of readers prefer audiobooks to physical books. Without an audio version, you may never reach them.

What Our Authors Say

Hear from authors who brought their books to life with Scribe

★★★★★

The amount that we spent on the Scribe project has generated a 10x plus return ever since, if not 20x.

Shaan Patel

CEO, Prep Expert

★★★★★

Something that I can tell you now probably because of Scribe and how great an experience it was for me, I am crazily thinking about writing a second book… that is, if I can give a testament to Scribe, there’s no way, if the process wasn’t anything but great, that I would say I want to do this again.

John Schachnovsky

Former FBI Legal Attaché

★★★★★

You really have to think about authorship in a decade's game, not a year's game. I'm in my second decade. I'm sure the third decade will be even better because you've built a great reputation over time.

Shaan Patel

CEO, Prep Expert

★★★★★

It has really been a pleasure to work with you. The process is smooth, and the result is outstanding. I’ll definitely recommend you to anyone who seeks to publish a book. Hope our path come across again in the future.

Yuzheng Sun

Staff Data Scientist, Statsig

★★★★★

When you write a really good human book, people notice. People can tell that this is something different here. And people are going to crave that human touch more and more. The more you can personalize and humanize things, it's actually a great differentiator in increasingly AI-competitive markets.

Shaan Patel

CEO, Prep Expert

★★★★★

It was a pleasure working with you on this book project! I've gotten everything I wanted out of this endeavor! Definitely ranks as a success in my book.

Sam Goodner

Serial Entrepreneur, Founder of Catapult Systems

★★★★★

I don’t have enough good words to say about my ghostwriter Mikey. She held my hand through the entire process. She’s an angel.

Pavel Ythjall

Fitness Photographer & Entrepreneur

★★★★★

I expected the actual writing and publishing process to be really hard, but honestly, it was much easier than I thought it would be. They gave me hands-on guidance every step of the way, and I just followed the process.
