Pressed for Time? Let Us Handle the Publishing.
Bringing a book to life takes real time and energy, and life gets busy. The Empire Publishers steps in to handle the heavy lifting, turning your raw ideas into a polished, published book that genuinely connects with readers everywhere.
Audiobook publishing services provide end-to-end production, studio engineering, and distribution solutions to turn a written manuscript into a high-quality audio file. Full-service audiobook publishers like The Empire Publishers cover professional voice talent casting, studio recording, audio mastering to strict retailer specifications, custom audio cover creation, and distribution to platforms like Audible, Apple Books, and Google Play. Authors exploring different literary formats can also find guidance from poetry publishing companies to bring their creative works to readers.
Key components included in full-service publishing:
Audiobook publishing costs are primarily calculated per Finished Hour (PFH) of audio, ranging from $200 to $600+ per finished hour for end-to-end professional production. Total cost depends on total word count, voice actor rates, and required studio engineering complexity. Authors working on fiction projects can also explore romance book publishing services to develop and publish their stories across multiple formats.
Key factors influencing production costs:
Yes. When working with The Empire Publishers, you retain 100% full creative control, copyright, and publishing rights to your work. Unlike traditional publishing agreements that tie up your intellectual property, our audiobook publishing services act as a service partner, ensuring you keep all ownership and collect your royalties directly. We also help authors strengthen their manuscripts through a professional manuscript assessment before moving forward with production.
Rights retention benefits include:
Production and publishing generally take 4 to 8 weeks from initial manuscript handoff to live retailer listing. Timeline variations depend on manuscript length, narrator scheduling, post-production audio proofing, and individual retail platform review processes.
Timeline breakdown:
Your audiobook is distributed across all major consumer retail storefronts, digital streaming apps, and library lending networks. Key platforms include Audible, Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play Audiobooks, Spotify, Barnes & Noble NOOK, Kobo, Storytel, and institutional library systems like OverDrive (Libby) and Hoopla.
Distribution benefits:
Yes, you maintain full control over selecting the voice actor for your project. A professional audiobook publisher provides a curated selection of voice-talent samples tailored to your manuscript's genre, emotional tone, and pacing requirements, so you can make the final choice.
What to look for during audition samples:
Yes, self-narration is a popular choice for personal memoirs, business guides, and self-help books where an authentic personal voice adds value. However, the raw recording still needs professional post-production sound engineering, noise cleanup, and mastering to meet strict retailer entry checks.
Producing an audiobook independently requires expensive audio equipment, specialized digital audio workstation (DAW) editing knowledge, and trial-and-error submission testing. Partnering with professional audiobook publishers eliminates technical file rejections, provides access to elite voice actors, and delivers retail-grade sound quality that competes directly with mainstream bestsellers.
