Why Narrate With Us

Real stories, real support, and royalties that keep coming.

Royalties for Seven Years

You earn on every sale, stream and library checkout, with no ceiling on the total, across the seven-year term of your contract.

Choose How You Work

Narrate and edit yourself for a larger share, or just narrate and let our in-house editors handle the rest.

Titles With Real Demand

We choose books that already have readers, so your work reaches an audience that is waiting for it.

Paid Every Month

Steady payouts straight to your bank account or your Wise account, month after month.

Two Ways to Earn

A per-finished-hour rate is capped. Royalty share carries a little more risk, but no ceiling on the total, and it keeps paying every month across your seven-year term.

What Narrators Actually Earn

Here is what one of our narrators has earned so far on a three-hour book, next to a one-time fee for the same work. Royalty income keeps paying across the full seven-year contract, and it adds up.
