Do you want to create an Audiobook?
Not sure where to start? Should you narrate your own book or hire a narrator? I've got you covered.
With the explosive growth of audiobooks and audio content to boost your credibility, reach a wider audience, and generate higher sales of your published book, let me help you stand out from the mediocre audio crowd and produce a high-quality, affordable audiobook that can be published on any audiobook platform!
I work primarily with authors who publish using ACX (Audiobook Creation Exchange), which is the audiobook self-publishing platform for Audible.com, the audiobook service by Amazon.com. I've proofed audiobooks for traditional publishers and self-published authors. Plus, I'm connected to a vast network of Emmy-winning audio engineers, award winning audiobook narrators and high-integrity, caring audiobook producers that I can turn to for a deep and wide database of knowledge.
Save Time
I've put in the time so you don't have to spend months and months crawling all over the internet, compiling massive amounts of confusing - often incomplete - information. They'll tell you that you can do this in "10 easy steps". Only if you've done it a couple dozen times before! Let me help....

Less Stress
I've got you covered. Having provided these services for dozens and dozens of clients, I understand all of the ins-and-outs from project initiation to distribution. Some distribution platforms can be a real pain. Let me help you through it!.........
Avoid Tech
Picking up new audio software and making sure your set-up complies with Audiobook technical standards takes some time and energy to learn! Unless you do it all the time, it's a better use of your time to outsource tech to someone experienced. Let me help you!
Let me help you get your audiobook out there!
I can offer you every service in the Audiobook Life Cycle:
- Narration
- Proofing
- Editing /Mastering
- Upload to popular Audiobook Marketplaces
Let me help you navigate the world of audiobooks, answer your questions and demystify the process! I have helped dozens of authors just like you make important choices around getting their heart's work into audio format.
Audiobooks are a powerful and now EXPECTED format to distribute your written work and another great way to consistently generate more revenue utilizing the hard work that went into writing your book!
I am uniquely qualified to help you stand out!
As an ACX published narrator, a Voice Actor and the narrator of a popular short story audio drama podcast, I am uniquely able to assist you with all of your audiobook needs!
I come from the world of audiobooks, where poor audio quality will have your listeners tuning out in the first 5 seconds and returning books.
So many people try to go at this on their own and save money, but poor audio production can hurt your reputation, the work of your heart and the work of your hands. Audiobook platforms will accept marginal quality audiobooks, which will have people asking for refunds in the end.
If you feel challenged by:
- The time it takes to produce an audiobook from start to finish
- Navigating the audiobook marketplaces
- Audiobook technical specifications
- Proofing for your own mistakes (to which we are usually blind)
- Audio editing software and skills
- Volume changing (in a bad way) between chapters and across devices
- Choosing the right equipment without going broke!
There are so many people producing audiobooks now... but where are they finding help? They are finding it from people like me who are in the business of producing audiobooks!
Proofing
It's always good to have a second set of eyes reviewing your work! We can't see the mistakes we make (or we wouldn't make them, right?). I offer proofing services at a competitive industry rate, including identifying errors, inconsistencies in voice and mispronunciation.
Audio Editing
I edit and master each audio file to ACX Technical Standards, plus clean up any lip smacks, clicks, hisses and pops so that people won't be put off of your hard work by common pet peeves.
Production Help
Want to record in your home, but not sure your set-up will work? We can evaluate your set-up and let you know if your recording space will comply with professional quality Room Tone requirements.
I can help you!
I'll help answer all your questions and get you off the ground and running smoothly so you can stay busy writing and creating your life's work while I focus on all the tech and performance.
What can you expect?
I am connected to a vast network of expert audio engineers, experienced audiobook narrators and high-integrity, caring producers that can assist you with:
- How many words are in your book? This will help me to estimate the run time and quotes for services.
- Will you narrate the book yourself or hire a narrator? I offer proofing, editing/mastering, and narration services. How much of the audiobook do you want to produce yourself? We'll figure it out together!
- Does this all feel like too much? Don't worry! I'm a PRO. As a former project manager, I'm great at creating order out of chaos. Let me help you wrap your brain around the process. I've got you!
- No hard sells...honest feedback...good vibes! Feel free to book a call. I'll send you a form with questions to answer about your audiobook and we'll go from there! I'm a real person who really cares and we'll sort this through together. Our call will be 30 minutes long, and that goes fast.

The amazing Melissa was so professional yet so personable!! I received other auditions to get my book on audible but none with a voice as clear as Melissa. She also helped me every step of the way. As a personal coach, she is amazing and dedicated. I am so happy to have met this truly wonderful person!
