Audiobook Editing Services
Whether you're an independent author, publisher, or professional narrator, I provide professional audiobook editing, proofing, mastering, and post-production services for ACX, Audible, Findaway Voices, Spotify, and other major distributors.
With more than 15 years of experience in audiobook production, I've helped independent authors, professional narrators, and publishers produce audiobooks that meet industry standards for quality and distribution. My goal is simple: deliver clean, professional audio that lets listeners focus on your story—not technical distractions.
Punch-and-Roll Audiobook Editing
Punch-and-roll recording produces cleaner recordings and significantly reduces editing time. If you've already recorded your audiobook using this technique, I'll complete the production process by:
-
Fine editing the narration
-
Removing remaining errors, clicks, mouth noise, and other distractions
-
Proofing the narration against your manuscript
-
Creating a detailed pickup report
-
Inserting corrected pickups
-
Mastering every file to ACX and retail specifications
-
Delivering upload-ready files
A second round of pickup insertions after your review is included.
Rate: $175 per finished hour
