Turn Your Book Into an Audiobook Listeners Can't Stop Playing
Audiobooks are one of the fastest-growing formats in publishing — and listeners are unforgiving. Muffled audio, flat narration, or uneven editing can earn a one-star review within the first chapter. Australian Books Publishing delivers professional audiobook production in Australia, combining expertly cast narrators, clean studio sound, and precise editing so your book sounds as good as it reads.
Preparing a script, choosing the right voice, and meeting Audible and ACX technical specifications can feel overwhelming, and small mistakes often lead to delays or rejected uploads. We manage the entire process for you — script preparation, casting, recording, editing, mastering, and distribution — so your audiobook arrives on every major platform ready for listeners worldwide.

Our Approach
From Manuscript to an Audiobook Listeners Love
From Page to Performance
A great audiobook is performed, not simply read aloud. We cast narrators who bring real energy and emotion to your words — the kind of performance that keeps listeners pressing play on the next chapter and recommending your book to others.
Customised Sound Experience
A thriller and a meditation guide should never sound the same. Delivery, tone, and pacing are tailored to your book's genre and personality, from subtle character voicing to full production polish, creating a listening experience that feels made for your story.
Complete Support at Every Stage
You stay informed and in control from script to release, while our team takes care of the technical side — recording, editing, mastering, and platform compliance. You approve the work; we handle the complexity.

Frequently asked questions
Got questions? we’ve got answers
What does your audiobook production service include?
Everything needed to take your book from text to a live audiobook: script preparation, narrator casting and auditions, professional recording, editing, mastering, ACX/Audible compliance checks, and distribution setup. If you also need editing, formatting, or cover work for your print or eBook edition, we handle that too.
Do I get to choose my narrator?
Yes. We shortlist narrators who suit your genre and audience and send you audition samples. You make the final choice, and recording only begins once you are happy with the voice.
How long does audiobook production take?
It depends mainly on your word count, the number of character voices, and how quickly narrator auditions are approved. After reviewing your manuscript, we provide a realistic schedule with clear milestones — and we deliver to it without cutting corners on quality.
Will my audiobook be accepted by Audible and ACX?
Every file we deliver is produced and checked against the technical requirements of Audible, ACX, and other major platforms, including audio levels, noise floor, and file format. If a platform ever requests a correction, we fix it for you.
Who owns the rights and royalties to my audiobook?
You do. Your audiobook is published under your name and your accounts, and you retain full rights and royalties. We can also help promote it with optimised listings and managed advertising, with clear reporting so you can see exactly what is working.
Testimonials
What Our Authors Say
The audiobook was the part that intimidated me most, and they took the entire thing off my hands — narrator casting, recording, mastering, and uploading. The moment I heard the first sample, I stopped worrying about it completely.
I handed over a messy Word document and got back a clean eBook and a paperback that looks like it belongs in a bookshop window. No technical headaches, no endless back-and-forth — just a finished book I am genuinely proud to put my name on.
My launch was completely flat until they rewrote my blurb and took over the ad management. Within a fortnight the book page finally started moving. The weekly reports were honest and easy to follow — no jargon, no excuses. I recommend their marketing team without hesitation.
