Introduction

While many assisted self-publishing companies are shying away from the challenge, we’re determined not to hold our authors back, and offer a process that navigates the minefield of audiobook production and publication in order to create a high-quality product. With a dedicated project manager providing guidance, Tellwell enables authors to choose their narrator and review their audio files before making their title available to Amazon, Audible, and iTunes.

Key Information

  • From $890 for audiobooks under 30,000 words.
  • $0.033 / per word for books more than 30,000 words.
  • Audiobook will be published for a minimum of seven years.
  • The audiobook will be priced by the online retailers, not the author.
  • Only available for professionally edited manuscripts.
