Convert your manuscript into a professionally narrated audiobook.

Why turn your book into an audiobook?

• Wide readership base

For the past decade, audiobooks have become one of the fastest-growing sectors in the publishing market. Audiobooks particularly cater to:

*Travelers who like a form of entertainment, but can’t be bothered to read
*Teachers who like to try new educational materials such as audio textbooks
*Moms who listen to books while doing household chores
*Sports fanatics who prefer listening to a story while running on a treadmill
*Anyone who takes pleasure in reading but leads a busy life

• Increased book sales

Wide readership means a bigger paycheck. Plus, each time a reader downloads your audiobooks online, a substantial amount of money goes to your income. This does not include your printed book and e-book sales.

• Good option for non-readers

Each person has their own unique way of literary work consumption. Some prefer physical books while others audiobooks.

• Lesser competition

The audiobook niche market is definitely growing. However, the competition in the industry is not that extreme yet. The market is apparently smaller compared to physical books and e-books, thus making it easier for readers to find and buy your audiobook.
