Let's be honest, Audible is a powerhouse. But that doesn't mean there aren't other amazing listeners out there waiting for your audiobook!

Here's the breakdown:

Wide Distribution: Reach a wider audience across stores and libraries, plus keep ALL profits from direct website sales. Great for maximising reach and control.

Exclusive Distribution: Partner with the big players for potentially higher royalty rates. Ideal if you prioritise maximising income quickly.

The choice is yours!

At The Listening Shelf, we understand every author's goals are unique.

We can help you decide which path is right for your audiobook.

Have a book begging to be an audiobook?

At The Listening Shelf, we're passionate about bringing great stories to life. In some cases, we might even be interested in buying the audio rights to your book!

Here's the deal:

The offer depends on our sales prediction and the length of the rights (usually 5+ years).

We consider short-term rights too, depending on the book.

At The Listening Shelf, we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to audiobooks. We cast each book based on finding the perfect voice to bring the story to life.

Here's what sets us apart:

Diverse Voices: We're passionate about representing a wide range of voices and experiences in our audiobooks.

Remote Recording: Our unique ability to record remotely allows us to find the best narrator, no matter their location. Don't have a home studio? No problem! We can equip you with one or welcome you to our studio in Derby.

Top Quality, Lower Costs: This innovative approach ensures high-quality audio at a fraction of the price of a traditional studio session.

Wide distribution means your audiobook reaches a massive audience across online retailers, physical stores, and even libraries!

Here's the best part: Sell directly from your website and keep all the profits from those sales.

Thinking wide distribution sounds perfect?

As part of our audiobook production services, we can help you set everything up.
