ACX for Audible: A Platform for Audiobook Authors and Narrators

In April 2013, Audible announced the launch of its innovative program, Audible Author Services, which aimed to distribute profits to audiobook authors. This platform has since become a go-to destination for creators who own the audio rights to their books. With ACX (Audiobook Creation Exchange), DIY enthusiasts can now upload their already completed audiobooks and have them distributed through Audible's vast sales channels.

The DIY workflow, launched in February 2012, allows rights holders to take charge of their audiobook productions. This includes authors, narrators, literary agents, publishers, and even recording studios, audio engineers, and audiobook editors. On ACX, a producer is anyone who can deliver or help deliver a retail-ready audiobook.

When users sign in to ACX, they can choose to either produce an audiobook as a narrator or create one by signing up as someone who owns the rights to do so. The best part? All titles produced through ACX become available for sale on Audible and iTunes.

With its launch in May 2011, ACX has been owned and operated by Audible Inc., an Amazon company. This platform has revolutionized the way audiobooks are created, making it easier than ever for creators to bring their stories to life.

As a marketplace for professional narrators, authors, agents, publishers, and rights holders, ACX is a game-changer in the world of audiobook production. With its user-friendly interface and vast distribution channels, it's no wonder that ACX has become the go-to destination for those looking to create and distribute their own audiobooks.

By allowing creators to take control of their productions, ACX has democratized the process of creating high-quality audiobooks. Whether you're an author looking to bring your book to life or a narrator seeking new opportunities, ACX is the perfect platform to connect with like-minded professionals and create amazing audiobooks.
