Our experienced team has received multiple radio series commissions for BBC and created hundreds of audiobook titles for publishers and independent authors in the UK and North America. Every audiobook we produce has a project manager and producer/director assigned who can bring extensive knowledge of the industry to the production and we have built relationships with a growing selection of experienced narrators in addition to wonderful new talent.
