Making an Impact
Mistakes happen
Once we have engaged on your project and started editing, working with your manuscript we compile a review sheet that covers each chapter with page number and time-stamps where there may be a pronunciation error or missing/incorrect word that cannot be repaired during editing. We feed this back to you and await the corrected recordings for final reinsertion into the audio.
Wait, there’s more…..
Sorry just had to put that in cheesy cliché in :o). But seriously, our audio editing is so much more, we look to remove or repair anything that will distract the listener from your intended experience.
After all you’ve fought hard to get your customer to buy your audiobook in the first place, you want to engage with them but more importantly you want them to buy your next audiobook. If care is not taken now in the audio quality or editing process, they won’t come back and that is a terrible loss.
Now these distractions can be background noises, umms, ahh’s, vocal pacing, recording levels, in-fact a plethora of interference can cause your valued listener to become disengaged with your audio. While we may have an agreed deadline for completion we do not rush the editing process, it’s important that we provide you with the very best product & experience possible throughout the process.

Audiobook editing costs
Surprisingly audiobook editing is not as expensive as you may think.
If you are new to us, to get a feeling we recommend you record a short piece, maybe a single chapter and submit for review & feedback. We will assess the audio quality & diction which will give us a baseline on expectations.
How you have recorded your audiobook is also important.
Punch & Roll recording – This has around 4:1 ratio meaning audio editing takes four hours for every one hour recorded
Click recording – This has around 4:1 ratio meaning audio editing takes four hours for every one hour recorded
Open recording – This has around 5:1 ratio meaning audio editing takes five hours for every one hour recorded.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
CAN I GET SOMEONE TO RECORD MY AUDIOBOOK?
Some people are not comfortable about recording and listening to their voice if that is you don’t worry, we have a wide range of professional narrators to help you with your project. Just reach out to us to using the form above.
NOT SURE WHERE TO START?
You would be surprised how often we get asked this question. Use our FREE 15-minute consultation to discuss your project. Select the option on the menu bar at the top of this page.
HOW DO I GET COVER ART?
Cover art is an essential part of the process because when people are browsing the first thing, they are likely to see about your book is the cover. Sure you can Do It Yourself but to be honest, it is better to have a professional carry out this work for you. We can provide cover art based on your brief. Typically we will submit three initial drafts for your consideration and tweak or rework based on your feedback with up to two revisions.
WHERE DO I SELL MY AUDIOBOOK?
Great question. While the desire is to do it yourself and sell on Audible (an Amazon company). We recommend that you use one of the many distributors who will spread your audiobook onto many platforms. For their efforts, they will take a percentage of any sales made and deposit the balance with you. Economically this makes sense as several do not have any upfront costs. For a one of fee, we can take care of the initial set up of your account and audiobook submission.
HOW LONG DOES THE PROCESS TAKE?
There are many factors at play. If you are providing us with a recorded audiobook, generally it takes up to six weeks for the editing process to be completed. We run multiple quality checks that cover the word diction, vocal clarity as well as all the techie stuff.
