Sell Your Audiobook

You've recorded your audiobook. The performance is spot on, the audio quality is perfect, and even the cover art astounds. Now how are you going to get your audiobook into the stores?

That’s always the question for the independent author or small publishing house, isn’t it?  How do you take this brilliant, amazing product, and make it available for the whole world to find and (hopefully) purchase.  It's not as easy as you'd think. Many of the major retailers refuse to work with independent authors or publishers with a very small catalog. Each retailers has different requirements for who they allow into their stores. Even more frustratingly, they each have different requirements for the format of the audio files, metadata, and images. It can be a nightmare to navigate.

That's where Open Book Audio's distribution service comes in. In addition to being a top-quality audiobook production company, Open Book Audio is also a digital distributor of audiobooks.  We’ll take your audiobook—even if it’s an audiobook we didn’t record—and we’ll handle all of the digital distribution for you.  You just send us the source files, metadata, and artwork, and we’ll take care of the rest. We will do all the formatting, we'll submit the files, we'll run the quarterly sales reports. It's one less thing you need to worry about doing.

Open Book Audio serves as an aggregator for independent authors. By adding your title to our catalog, you get to take advantage of a larger catalog from a well-known and respected distributor in the market. We have access to the larger retailers that it is difficult to get into, and we are constantly building and expanding our relationships with major digital audiobook retailers. 

You are also getting to take advantage of some of Open Book Audio's great marketing avenues. We can feature your audiobooks in our blog, our Facebook and Twitter feeds, and even on our monthly Open Book Audio Podcast. When we advertise our entire catalog, your title is included.
