YOUR PROJECT, DEFINED

What’s included.

01

Narration brief

Discuss the listening experience, performance style, and text requiring adaptation.

02

Pronunciation guide

Record names, technical terms, and author preferences that affect pronunciation.

03

Production and file-specification plan

Clarify responsibilities for recording, editing, quality review, and platform file requirements.

IS THIS THE RIGHT FIT?

Built around
your starting point.

For authors considering how a finished text could become a listenable edition.

Audio introduces decisions about performance, pronunciation, chapter breaks, and material that depends on visuals. Planning those issues early makes the production brief more realistic.

A USEFUL FIRST CONVERSATION

Bring your questions.
And a little context.

For authors with a stable manuscript, a clear visual idea, or a book that needs its first design brief. Illustrated interiors may need earlier planning.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Your questions, answered.

Is narrator casting included?

Casting, recording, editing, and distribution should each be confirmed in the quote. Samples help establish the intended voice.

What should I send for a quote?

For book audio, share your goals, any existing material, your intended audience, and the formats you need. Mention any deadlines so feasibility can be discussed.

What will I receive from book audio?

The proposed scope covers narration brief, pronunciation guide, production and file-specification plan. Your written agreement confirms the file formats, handoff requirements and any exclusions before work starts.

How are revisions and timelines agreed?

We review the material and scope first, then agree on milestones and feedback rounds in the proposal. Send consolidated comments at each review stage; additional work or a changed brief is quoted separately.

Can I combine this with another service?

Yes. Connected stages can be discussed together, with a clear boundary between each deliverable. Explore the related services below or describe the full project in your inquiry.
