Book Director Studio
For authors

Your book, in your reader's ears.

Most novels never become audiobooks — not because readers don't want them, but because production costs more than the advance. That math just changed.

The old way

Thousands per finished book

Traditional narration runs $200–400 per finished hour. A full novel costs more than most indie titles earn back in a year.

Months of turnaround

Booking a narrator, recording, proofing, retakes, mastering. Your audio edition ships two seasons after the launch buzz is gone.

Zero control after the booth door closes

The narrator reads your villain wrong in chapter two and you find out when the files arrive. Fixing it means re-booking studio time.

What the studio changes
  1. Paste the manuscript you already have

    No formatting gymnastics. The AI director parses the chapter into narration and dialogue, finds your characters, and drafts performance notes.

  2. Cast every part yourself

    Audition thirty-plus voices in your own words and assign them per character. Your weary detective and your bright-eyed rookie stop sounding like the same person.

  3. Direct line by line

    A whispered confession, an urgent warning — write the note on the line and re-render just that sentence. One credit-minute to hear a preview.

  4. Export an audiobook-ready file

    Chaptered M4B with proper silence pacing and mastered loudness, plus an ACX-style readiness report. Each platform sets its own acceptance rules.
