In 2025, people don’t just read books — they listen to them. Don’t let your story stop on the page. Transform your manuscript into a professionally produced audiobook and unlock a booming global audience of listeners.
Introduction: The Rise of the Spoken Word
You’ve done it, you have written a book. And let me just say, that is no small task! However, in today’s world, where people move at a rapid pace and are constantly inundated with screens, reading habits are evolving.
Increasingly, readers are becoming listeners. The rise of audiobooks is no longer a trend – it’s a shift. As an author, audiobooks offer an untapped audience, a new realm of storytelling, and an exciting opportunity to future-proof your book. If you think audiobooks are just for long drives or bedtime stories, think again. In 2025, audiobooks have become one of the most powerful tools in an author’s publishing toolkit. With millions of listeners globally and an ever-growing market in the US, audiobooks are no longer optional — they’re essential.
At Book Publishings, we believe that every book should be heard. First, whether it’s a first-time novelist, memoirist, or children’s book author, the benefits of creating your audiobook from your manuscript may be the best publishing choice you make this year.
1. Audiobooks Instantly Expand Your Audience
Traditional print and even eBooks have their limits. Busy readers may never make time to sit and read, but they will listen on the go. Audiobooks allow you to reach:
- Commuters
- Fitness enthusiasts
- Parents multitasking
- Readers (or listeners) with vision impairments or dyslexia
There’s no need to wait on the audiobook distribution pipeline composed of publishers, retailers, and audiobook distributors. When you publish your audiobook with Book Publishings, your book is available immediately on Audible, ACX, Spotify, Apple Books, and Kobo. You have worldwide exposure as soon as you click “publish”.
2. Self-Publish with Complete Creative Control
Many authors shy away from audio because it feels like a different world, with voice actors, editing, and sound mastering. Yes, it’s a technical process. But that’s where we come in.
There’s no back and forth with our end-to-end audiobook publishing service; you still get control without the burden; you create the album cover and send it to us, and we take care of the rest. You provide the manuscript, and we do the heavy lifting:
- Script evaluation
- Voice actor selection
- Professional narration
- Audio mastering & format conversion
- Platform distribution
And did we mention that you keep 100% of your royalties? We like to say we provide self-publishing freedom in its purest form.
3. Narration Counts: Match Your Story with the Right
Consider your audiobook to be a performance. A cozy mystery might need a soothing female accent. A gritty crime novel? Perhaps a deep male voice with suspenseful pacing.
At Book Publishings, we provide voice choice options that match your book’s tone and target audience. You get to choose your preferred professional narrators, who have a variety of accents, pacing, and tone, to bring your characters and ideas to life. We also offer:
- Youthful or mature voices
- Gender-specific casting
- Custom pacing and tone
Your words, your voice — just elevated.
4. Your Book is Your Brand, Everywhere
Did you know that audiobooks now account for one in five books sold in the US? If you’re building your author brand, skipping audio is a key part of your audience. Working with Book Publishings, your audiobook doesn’t just go onto one platform, but is produced everywhere your audience listens. We ensure it is platform-ready, with crisp sound, clean metadata, and sharp audiobook covers within your genre.
