Leveraging ElevenLabs’ voice tech for efficient, high-quality narration across borders.
Lukeman Literary, known for decades as an acclaimed literary agency, also functions as an independent publisher, and in this capacity, they produce many audiobooks each year in multiple languages.

In ElevenLabs’ new product, we have found this quality. It is astonishing, and something to be celebrated.
