Audiobook Production Services
Professional Audio Production for Authors Who Take Publishing Seriously
Audiobooks are no longer optional for authors who want to expand their reach and credibility. However, producing a professional audiobook requires more than simply reading a manuscript aloud. Audio quality, pacing, consistency, and technical standards all play a critical role in how listeners experience your book.
TMM Publishing offers professional audiobook production services designed to transform your manuscript into a high-quality listening experience. This service focuses on producing clean, clear, and professionally mastered audio that reflects the integrity of your written work and meets industry requirements for distribution platforms.
Whether you are narrating your own book or coordinating narration, this service ensures your audiobook is produced with care, precision, and professionalism from start to finish.

Audiobook recording coordination and production oversight
Professional audio editing to remove errors, noise, and inconsistencies
Audio mastering to meet industry loudness and quality standards
Quality control review across all audio files

Word Count & Pricing Structure
This service includes audiobook production for manuscripts up to 50,000 words.
Manuscripts exceeding this length are billed as follows:
$145 per additional 1,000 words
This pricing structure ensures appropriate production time, quality control, and scope alignment for longer manuscripts.
Narration & Recording Requirements
Authors who choose to narrate their own audiobook are required to use approved recording equipment to ensure professional audio quality.
An approved equipment list will be provided prior to recording. This list includes microphones, interfaces, and accessories that meet industry standards for audiobook production.
All required recording equipment is purchased at the client’s expense and must be approved before recording begins. This requirement helps ensure consistent audio quality, reduces post-production issues, and supports smoother approval during quality control and platform submission.
Recording will not begin until equipment approval is confirmed.
