Choosing the right audiobook production partner can make all the difference in the quality and success of your final product. While larger audiobook production companies handle thousands of titles at a time, Scribe Media offers a more personalized and high-quality approach. Here’s why working with us is the better choice.
One-on-One Attention
At a large production company, you might speak with a sales representative initially, only to be passed from one producer to another. With hundreds of other authors in their pipeline, you risk becoming just another project in a long queue.
At Scribe Media, you work directly with an expert who guides you through every step of the process. From your initial consultation to narrator selection and postproduction decisions, you’ll have a dedicated point of contact, ensuring your audiobook receives the care and attention it deserves.
Clear and Consistent Communication
Large audiobook production companies often suffer from slow response times and impersonal communication. Once your project is in motion, it can be difficult to get updates or have questions answered quickly.
At Scribe, we prioritize transparency and responsiveness. Whether you prefer email, phone, or video chat, you’ll always get a direct response from someone who knows your project inside and out. You’ll never feel lost in the process or left wondering about the status of your audiobook.
Quality over Quantity
Unlike big production companies juggling hundreds of titles simultaneously, we focus on delivering exceptional quality without rushing or cutting corners. Our postproduction team carefully reviews and masters your audiobook to meet the highest industry standards. This means better sound quality, a more polished final product, and a seamless listening experience for your audience.
Cover Reformatting for Distribution
Most audiobook production companies don’t handle cover reformatting, leaving authors scrambling to meet distribution requirements. At Scribe Media, we ensure your audiobook cover is correctly formatted for platforms like Audible, Apple Books, and Google Play. This small but crucial detail makes your audiobook appear more professional and polished.
100 Percent of Your Royalties Stay with You
Many audiobook production companies take a percentage of your audiobook royalties, cutting into your earnings indefinitely. At Scribe Media, we never take a portion of your royalties. Every dollar your audiobook generates is yours to keep.
The Scribe Media Difference
Producing an audiobook should be an exciting and rewarding experience, not a frustrating or impersonal process. With Scribe Media, you receive the attention, communication, and high-quality production that larger companies simply can’t provide.
If you want an audiobook production partner who values your book as much as you do, Scribe Media is the right choice. Let’s create an audiobook that truly reflects your vision and delivers an outstanding experience for listeners.
How Do We Make Sure Your Audiobook Stays True to Your Vision?
Creating an audiobook is more than just recording words—it’s about capturing the essence of your book and ensuring it resonates with listeners exactly as you intended. At Scribe Media, we take a meticulous approach to audiobook production, working closely with you to bring your vision to life.
Step 1: The Initial Consultation
The process begins with an in-depth conversation about your audiobook’s goals. One of the biggest decisions is choosing between narrating the book yourself or hiring a professional narrator.
- If you’re narrating, we’ll walk you through everything from studio setup to voice coaching, helping you prepare for a smooth recording experience.
- If you’d prefer a professional narrator, we’ll define exactly what kind of voice and tone you envision for your book.
This conversation ensures we align our approach with your expectations right from the start.
Step 2: Casting the Right Narrator
Selecting the perfect narrator is crucial to delivering an engaging audiobook experience. If you opt for a professional narrator, we’ll work with you to determine the qualities you’re looking for:
- Do you want the narrator to sound like you, or would a different voice be more effective?
- Should the tone be authoritative, conversational, warm, or dramatic?
- Are there accents or stylistic elements that matter to your book’s delivery?
Every detail plays a role in how your audience connects with your audiobook, and we ensure your narrator aligns with your vision.
Step 3: Understanding Your Book’s Unique Voice
Before casting narrators, we take the time to deeply understand your book’s themes, style, and purpose. Whether you’re aiming for an educational tone, a deeply personal memoir, or an engaging business book, we refine the narration style to match.
We also consider pacing, energy levels, and emotional emphasis to ensure the audiobook captures the right feel—whether that means an inspiring and uplifting tone or a more measured, serious delivery.
Step 4: Curated Auditions
Once we’ve established the right criteria, we narrow down the best narrator choices and present you with five to seven audition samples. You’ll never be overwhelmed with too many options or pressured into a rushed decision.
You’ll have the opportunity to listen, compare, and choose the narrator that truly fits your vision. If none feel quite right, we refine our search until we find the perfect match.
Step 5: Trusting Your Instincts
Choosing a narrator is both an art and a science. While we provide expert guidance, the final decision is yours. We encourage you to trust your instincts—after all, this is your book, and your audiobook should reflect your message in the most authentic way possible.
At Scribe Media, we aren’t just producing audiobooks—we’re crafting immersive listening experiences that stay true to the heart of your work. When your audience presses play, they’ll hear exactly what you intended.
