Politics and Current Affairs
audiobook production.
Let a complex argument be properly heard.
Political and current-affairs books ask listeners to follow claims, evidence and changing events. We plan a clear voice and controlled manuscript process so the production reflects the authorised edition.
For publishers, rights owners and independent authors.
Human-led production at our Camden studios.
FROM MANUSCRIPT TO MASTERED AUDIO
The right performance changes how the words are heard.
Audition analytical passages and quoted speech. Agree a tone that carries the writing without introducing unintended sarcasm, endorsement or emphasis.
We cast to the manuscript and the creative brief, with auditions where required. Author reads, professional narrators and multi-voice productions each need a different plan. Your producer helps turn those options into a clear decision before the full recording begins.

with the details considered.
Can last-minute events be added before release?
They can be considered through an approved revision, subject to recording availability and the effect on editing, proofing and delivery. Agree an update cutoff in the schedule.
Can you produce the whole audiobook?
Yes. The service can cover manuscript preparation, casting, direction, recording, editing, proofing, quality control, mastering and delivery. You can also commission a defined stage. The scope and review process are agreed in your quote.
How is the price worked out?
Send the word count, manuscript status, number of readers, title count and target delivery date. Narrator fees are quoted separately. Multi-reader, full-cast and immersive work receives a tailored quote; distribution is an optional, separately quoted service.
Can the author or publisher attend remotely?
Remote direction and monitoring are available. Agree the participants, connection arrangements and review responsibilities before recording so the team can prepare the session.
Will the audiobook meet my distributor’s requirements?
Provide the intended platform or distributor specifications when you commission the work. We agree the mastering, chapter organisation and delivery requirements for your project. Production does not by itself guarantee retailer acceptance or publication.
