ACX Audiobook Publishing Services

ACX (Audiobook Creation Exchange) is Amazon's platform for producing and distributing audiobooks to Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. It connects authors with narrators and handles distribution. We manage production and setup so your audiobook meets ACX's standards.

ACX is the direct route to Audible, Amazon, and iTunes — the largest audiobook retailers. Other distributors reach libraries and additional stores. Many authors use ACX for the major retailers and a wide distributor for the rest; we can advise on the best mix.

ACX offers two main models: you pay the narrator a per-finished-hour rate and keep a higher royalty, or you split royalties with the narrator at no upfront cost (royalty share). We explain the trade-offs so you pick what fits your budget and goals.

ACX exclusive distribution pays a higher royalty but limits you to Audible's ecosystem; non-exclusive pays less but lets you sell elsewhere. The right choice depends on your wider distribution plan — we help you weigh it.

Yes, if you have the setup and skill, and we provide direction, editing, and mastering to meet ACX's technical standards. Otherwise we match you with a professional narrator through ACX's platform.

It depends on your narration choice — a per-finished-hour narrator fee, or royalty share at no upfront cost — plus production. We keep pricing transparent; see our pricing page or contact us for a quote.
