narrateAUTHOR RESOURCE · MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION
Your story, ready to be heard.
Send your manuscript as you wrote it. Tell us how you want it to feel, and our production team will prepare it for narration.
YOUR MANUSCRIPT
A few simple things help us start.
Proofread your text
Send the version you want narrated, with the story in reading order and paragraph breaks intact.
Keep chapter headings clear
Include chapter titles and tell us which introductions, notes or bonus activities should be part of the audiobook.
Send a readable PDF
The project form accepts PDFs up to 50 MB. Selectable text works best. Contact us if your manuscript is scanned or in another format.
YOUR CREATIVE DIRECTION
Tell us what matters to your listeners.
Use ordinary language. A few notes about the audience and the feeling of your story are enough to begin.
Voice and language
Share your preferred language, accent and overall tone. Let us know if you would like to explore using your own voice with consent.
Names and pronunciation
Flag important names, places and local expressions. A short pronunciation recording can help.
Character and sound preferences
Tell us if distinct character voices, music or atmospheric sound would suit the story. We will discuss the scope and any supplied audio with you.
