We handle the production work
Producing a complete audiobook involves much more than generating speech. The manuscript must be structured, voices selected, delivery directed, difficult words corrected, chapters reviewed, and final files assembled. Our team handles these steps for you.
Manuscript and chapter setup
We import your manuscript, organize its chapters, and prepare the text for consistent long-form narration.
Narrator selection
Tell us the kind of narrator and delivery you want. We shortlist suitable Narration Box narrators and send samples before full production begins.
Narration direction
We configure the tone, pacing, accent, style, pauses, and chapter-level delivery based on the needs of your book.
Pronunciation corrections
Names, locations, technical terms, and unusual words are reviewed and corrected throughout the project.
Human quality review
The audiobook is reviewed for narration errors, awkward pauses, mispronunciations, inconsistent delivery, and missing content.
Final audio delivery
Receive organized chapter files in MP3 and WAV formats, ready for your publishing and distribution workflow.
From manuscript to finished audiobook
Production begins after the narrator, general delivery style, manuscript, and quote are approved.

Pricing based on manuscript length
Most authors know the length of their book in words, not finished audio minutes. Our standard production pricing is therefore based primarily on manuscript word count.

We will confirm the full price before production begins.

Published pricing covers straightforward single-narrator books. More voices, detailed casting, specialist terms, and added production work are scoped separately.
Premium cloned voice
Use the author's voice, or another voice you have documented permission to use.
From $100 per voice
Additional narrator
Add narrators for alternating perspectives, interviews, or clearly separated sections.
From $75 per additional narrator

We build a custom production plan for character-heavy fiction, frequent dialogue, accents, and scene-by-scene casting.
