Spotify is now accepting Audiobooks narrated by ElevenLabs

More people are listening to audiobooks than ever before. But for many independent authors, getting an audio version of their work published on major platforms has been expensive and time-consuming — until now.

Authors using ElevenLabs can now publish directly to Spotify and other major retailers through our new partnership with Findaway Voices by Spotify — making distribution faster, easier, and more accessible than ever. 

Findaway Voices helps authors reach new audiences and earn revenue when listeners buy or stream their audiobooks. Starting today, Spotify is officially accepting digital voice-narrated audiobooks created with ElevenLabs.

With our AI voices and Findaway Voices by Spotify, independent authors can now bring their stories to life — and to millions of listeners — without barriers.

Findaway Voices & Spotify

With Findaway Voices, authors can reach a wide array of leading audiobook retailers and choose the price they want to sell their content at, all with zero upfront costs.

You keep 100% of your royalties when premium listeners listen to your content on Spotify, and 80% of the royalties on all other platforms. And Findaway Voices will give you in-depth insights to show you how your audiobook is performing.

Audiobook Creation Made Easy With ElevenLabs

Before we launched our AI Voices products, narrating an audiobook meant booking hours – sometimes days – of studio time; an expensive and out-of-reach option for most indie authors.

With Studio by ElevenLabs, creating an audiobook is as simple as uploading your document (.epub .pdf .txt .html or .docx), editing the delivery of the narration with our simple editing tools, and then generating a full, lifelike narration.

To get your audiobook on Spotify, as well as other retailers, simply:

1. Click “Publish to Spotify” in the ElevenLabs Studio editor to download your LPF file
2. Create an account with Findaway Voices
3. Create a New Project in Findaway Voices
4. Select “Digital Voice Narration”
5. Upload your LPF file
6. Distribute your Audiobook

For listeners, all digitally narrated titles will be clearly marked in the metadata on Spotify and across the other retailers where Findaway Voices distributes. The statement, “This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.” will be prepended to the first sentence of the audiobook description.
