    What is the process for publishing an audiobook?<\/span><\/h2>\n

    [\/vc_custom_heading][vc_empty_space empty_h=”1″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”174401″]<\/p>\n

    (1) The story<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

    Send us the manuscript of your work in as finished a form as possible. If we accept the work for publication, we will contact you by email and can make a publishing agreement. The literary genres most suitable for audiobooks are especially plot-driven novels, children\u2019s and young adult books, and non-fiction. If your book contains a large number of tables or graphics, we recommend considering another publishing format or adapting the work into a form better suited for an audiobook. <\/span><\/p>\n

    (2) Choosing the narrator<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

    Together, we will choose the voice actor for your book. In our narrator catalog, you will find a wide selection of Finland\u2019s most popular audiobook narrators. Our experienced team will help you find the right voice and ensure the narrator matches the style of the book. We are often asked whether an author can also narrate their own book. Yes, they can! <\/span>In that case, we will guide you through the studio techniques and provide tips on voice use, or bring in a recording engineer.  <\/span><\/p>\n

    (3) Audiobook production<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

    Producing an audiobook takes on average 3\u20135 weeks from the start of narration to the distribution of the finished audiobook. <\/span>During the production stage, the book is recorded, proof-listened, corrected, edited, and finally mixed and mastered by an experienced audio engineer. For audiobook production, it is a good idea to prepare a pronunciation guide for any foreign words, which can easily be done once the project has started. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    (4) Distribution and marketing<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

    The cover art, metadata, and marketing texts are prepared and delivered along with the audio files for distribution. <\/span>We distribute your audiobook to all streaming services and online stores. The audiobook will be available to listen to on your desired release date. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    (5) Royalties and reporting<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

    We pay  out e-book and audiobook royalties to authors twice a year. Along with the payment, we provide the most comprehensive possible report  on the book\u2019s sales and listening figures, so that together we can track the journey of the work around the world.  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
