How to Publish an Audiobook on Audible? Solved!

Part 1. Can You Upload Audiobooks to Audible?

Keep in mind that you can't upload your own audiobooks to Audible to listen to from elsewhere. But if you're a creator, you can publish the audiobooks you create to Audible. There are several platforms that allow you to do this.

The first is the Amazon platform ACX (Audiobook Creation Exchange). It is used to distribute audiobooks to Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. The platform is simple to use. After proofreading your audiobooks, you can upload each file to ACX and submit it for approval. After uploading the files, just name them according to the corresponding chapters.

While Audible (ACX) is the most well-known audiobook publishing site, it's worth noting that there are other sites that also publish and promote audiobooks, such as Author's Republic, Kobowriting Life, Publish Drive, and so on.

Author's Republic is the exclusive distributor of audiobooks with a 7:3 royalty share ratio, which means you get 70% of the revenue from audiobook sales. Kobowriting Life is a platform specifically for self-publishers, offering a variety of royalty sharing options. Publish Drive is a self-publishing platform that gives you 100% royalties based on the pricing model you choose.
