Audiobooks
What does it take for a manuscript to become a successful audiobook?
Today everyone has the ability to walk around with an entire library of books and music on their phones. It is easier than ever to download and listen to audiobooks with a few taps of a screen. Novels, how-to guides, full-on personal development training courses populate audio bookstores such a Audible and Itunes. Your audiobook can be there, as well, ready to be downloaded and listened to during a heavy freeway commute, while doing yard work, cleaning the house, working out or running errands.
Media City Publishers has a vision for audiobooks that extends well beyond the author simply reading books. We work with innovators in audiobooks that transform stories into dynamic listening experiences with multiple actors, quality sound and production. We are located right in the middle of Burbank. The Voice Arts Awards are held right up the street at our neighbor, Warner Brothers. The people who voice for video games, movies, television and radio are all right here. Media City uses professionals to create audiobooks for our clients.
